- The Nuclear Research and Consultancy Group (NRG) conducts research into Thorium/Molten Salt Reactors. The unique combination of facilities at our site in Petten, the Netherlands, enables us to provide crucial support to the international effort to develop this promising technology.

Good work NRG. More videos and other media is needed to help promote this technology to the public!
Responsible use of nuclear technology like Thorium MSR are very important to the worlds future.
There has never been responsible use of any nuclear reactors, unless you consider creating a death machine responsible use.
I wish they would team up with Elysium Industries. I love their fast reactor.
Only the last ⅓ of the video talk's about MSR, it's basically a commercial that says here I am, I can be very helpful. At the rate things are going we are going to need all the help we can get. Thanks to Richard Nixon for Watergate & shutting down MSR Programs, or should we call him Mr Carbon.
Geweldig onderzoek, jammer dat we geen Stellarator of Tokamak in Nederland hebben. Maar een MSR zal een mooie tussenstap zijn.
World oil reserves at current use are estimated to last 50 years.......get on with it.
Sun and wind power is available if the RICO gang at nuclear and fossil fuel utilities don't bribe and bully legislators into opposing them. As far as I know, no one has ever suffered from cancer, destruction of DNA, leukemia, mutations, immune disorders, liver, heart, endocrine, gastrointestinal or brain diseases from sun or wind power. No country has been bankrupted from an irresolvable, never-ending disaster at at wind turbine or solar panel. Used wind turbines and solar panels are not radioactive for longer thsn mankind has been in existence due to neutron activation of ionizing radiation and there are no tailing piles or spent fuel lagoons in somebody's backyard. The well water is not laced with tritium and you can eat the livestock from a wind farm.
@@jackfanning7952 As far as you know? The sun emits UV light which can give you skin cancer which can kill you, Jack. Jack has both solar and wind powering his home? Is it subsidized? The generators in windmills and solar panels require mining rare minerals and metals....bad news is it's real messy....in Africa, there are children used in the mining....in China, they have no environmental regulations...they just mine it as cheaply as possible. The entire USA could be powered by MSR's and the waste stored at Yucca Mountain.....there is already enough thorium buried in Nevada to power the USA for years. Jack, solar and wind are too expensive...take too much land.....and will never power the USA.
@@kingmiura8138 Stupid nukies are so predictable. When someone points out that nuclear energy is the greatest risk facing all life on earth, do you make an argument that it is not so? Nooooo. You deflect. Oh, coal is bad! Ooohhhh, minerals and metals are dug up to produce wind and solar power. Visible light, ultraviolet, and infrared rays form the sun are very different and 1000s of times less dangerous than alpha, beta, and gamma ionizing radiation. Name one person who has died from the use of solar or wind power? I can name many from nuclear power. The average age of the 800,000 liquidators that tried to save the world from Chernobyl was 31 years old. By 2000, half of them were dead. When Mayak was dumping high and low level radioactive waste in the Techa River, 70% of the population 8 miles downstream came down with leukemia. So what did those nukies do? They started putting it in Lake Karachay. Problem solved, eh? Just like at Sellafield, LaHague, and Fukushima, to name a few. Kids in Simi Valley today are spending their afternoons together at the local cancer clinics because of the leukemia caused by the 1958 meltdown at Santa Susana. Did you know that it takes 1 million lbs of 0.1% uranium ore to get 7 lbs. of U-235? 300,000,000 tons of ore tailings in the U.S. left in the open not only is radioactive but highly acidic and loaded with heavy metals, arsenic and other toxins. And you are worried about mining for solar energy? What about the uranium mines in depressed areas of Africa, Australia, Canada and the U.S.? Do you care? What do you think the third world countries with no environmental regulation using nuclear to load up on plutonium do with their tailings and high-level waste? Yucca Mountain has already spent $15 billion and would spend $90 billion more and 35 years to complete. It could hold 70,000 tons of high-level waste. What should we do with the other 630,000 tons of spent fuel rods (fission by-products that never existed before 1940) sitting in open pools and casks within 100 miles of every major city in the U.S. for ,oh, let's be generous and say just the next 240,000 years? If we could handle that, maybe we could figure out something for the other doodoo from hell that will still be radioactive for over a million years.
You guys need to come up with some kind of argument instead of talking about how bad everything else is and hurling insults. How are you gonna get us the keep financing your suicide industry by insulting us and continuing to make irresolvable, very expensive messes?
Henry Stickman has taught me the pun behind this channel name.

All of this only in Europe not in USA...
I love the MSR technology but this "engineering" video more scare than calm. It could be also a presentation of old fashioned technology with serious men with high education is running the plant. I want a video showing fool proof also when engineers have escaped and all pumps out of order.
Are your labs earthquake proof
yes... Thorium fuel is liquid and leaks out of the reactor if anything happens
@@lastmanstanding5423 I’ll drink to that 🥃 cheers 🍻 still standing @3:30am
We dont have earthquakes in the Netherlands! 😁
@@TheOpticalFreak For now hopefully never
In China it Works.!
china is only using pebble light water reactors...
What works? The genocide of minority's?
The stealing of western tech?
The production of that tech with slave labour?
Yes, I guess it works.
The problem with molten salt reactors is they are nuclear reactors - expensive, unmanageable, and the waste just keeps on killing.
