* solid* thorium reactors and using thorium in current PWRs, but the LFTR is a very different animal and I've heard nothing but positives from all the nuclear engineers that have covered it (search for 'thorium' on google tech talks and you'll see what I mean).

The Department of Energy and Idaho National Laboratory should participate in such a NASA project, but today DOE-INL progress in fourth generation nuclear power technology such as LFTR proceeds at a snail ‚ Äôs pace, with fickle funding and a mission to support for the existing solid fuel nuclear technology.
