This is CBS. I am the world. I'm John Bachelor. Hotel Mars, episode N. My colleague and

co-host and co-pilot, Dr. David Livingston of the Space Show is here.

David, we have an exciting development here that I have not known about for some years.

It's a new technology that's an old technology and it replaces the

fears of nuclear power plants. It's called a thorium molten salt reactor and to help us understand this piece of technology that it

establishes and works and is being developed now around the world we welcome

Dr. A.J. Kotare, president and founder of

Astrox Corporation. A.J, a very good evening to you. Time for definition. I've

seen your charts. I'm convinced what is a thorium molten

salt reactor. Oh, thank you very much, John. It was just been really nice and thank you for inviting me and to talk about this

very important, very important our topic and very useful for our country actually.

So thorium molten salt reactor is basically it's a nuclear reactor, but it's a

reactor that cannot blow up, it cannot melt down, It creates only 1% of the waste products that uranium plants that we have

Most of our plants are

worldwide actually and they are all pressurized water reactors which means that you

know the water is and I'll get into that a little bit more but at this point in

time if we don't pressurize the reactor, but if we can work, the whole idea is this, if we can work at sea level pressure, then it cannot blow up.

You know, this is what happened in Fukushima,

it happened in Chernobyl.

So how do we solve these problems without, you know, throwing the baby out with whatever, whatever,

that kind of a thing in terms of nuclear.

So this is really, really quite interesting.
