Which brings us on to SSTAR.

SSTAR is designed to be a self-contained reactor in a tamper resistant container. The goal is to provide reliable and cost-effective electricity, heat and freshwater. Whereas a typical conventional uranium nuclear power station will generate in the region of 1 GigaWatt of electricity, this Thorium reactor will be available as a 500 ton, 100 Megawatts version, enough for 100,000 homes (in the UK at least), or a 200 ton, 10 Megawatts version. All with no requirement for any particular weather to make it work. It is a completely sealed unit – designed to be set down and operate without maintenance for 30 years until it’s fuel is spent and then replaced with another unit or refuelled onsite if appropriate. SSTAR make power generation convenient in two ways; decreasing staffing costs by dropping them close to zero and eliminating the bulky infrastructure required for larger plants. The design can be adapted to produce hydrogen for use as an alternative fuel for cars, buses, taxis etc. A thought. There are almost 10,000 petrol stations in the UK. Our present generating capacity is 80 GigaWatts. What if we replaced those 10,000 petrol stations with 10,000 10MW versions of this reactor; sealed and safe generating electricity and producing hydrogen. We would produce more than enough electricity to meet our needs and fuel our cars – the only by-product from cars etc. would be water. The benefits of SSTAR
SSTAR could be the answer for nuclear power

Throw the buggers in jail.

NATO should have been dismantled when the Warsaw Pact was ended, because there no longer was a threat. But instead, NATO expanded as to include former Soviet republics and that process continues.

The present agenda is to attain winnable first strike nuclear capability via the anti-missile shield that is being constructed around Russia and then to bring “freedom and democracy” to that country, so rich in resources (oil, gas, gold, other minerals and all that arable land).

In Africa it regards attainment of complete control which implies ousting the number one competitor for resources, China.

NATO is but a fig leaf of legality for US neo-colonialism, just look at the military budgets of its members.

One can only guess what kind of blackmail is used to force cooperation of EU countries in order to give those resource wars the semblance of “legal” and “humanitarian”.

Looting resources invariably leads to the collapse of the colonizer, the Roman, Spanish and British empire are a few examples.

When resources are depleting, that ought to be a sign to start looking for (more) sustainable alternatives, instead of looting them from other countries for continuation of “business as usual”.

Those people have no future?

The US made the first nuclear bomb and dropped it on Japanese civilians, then repeated the procedure on another city, although surrender had been offered already by Japan.

That started the global proliferation and the inseparable pollution.

“No country without an atom bomb could properly consider itself independent.”
Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970), French statesman, soldier. Quoted in: New York Times Magazine (12 May 1968).

For Chinese state-owned corporations the absence of such patents is irrelevant: their mission is to get the job done (serving the people instead of CEOs and shareholders).

Considering the amount of scientists and engineers in China (as compared to the EU, Russia or the US), China will take the lead, soon.
