Gates and Buffett to create a new kind of nuclear reactor in Wyoming -- they purposefully say "Natrium" instead of Sodium for some reason (www.theguardian.com)

The run off is toxic. Sodium. Salt is toxic. It kills fauna and flora. Way to go and turn Wyoming into a desert.

It could potentially be much worse than carbon.

Where are its emissions occurring? How do they affect the surrounding environment. It could potentially cause a much worse environmental effect. Sodium into an otherwise wooded state. What complete fuckos. Just more mad corporate bullshit. Their ad campaign is almost convincing except study under that hood.

You seem to be confused.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt

"Molten salts" are salts of compounds like flouride, cyanide, chlorine, etc. Not literally table salt.

That is ridiculous. Sodium is salt. It has the same chemical properties of salt. Sodium. You are like a dumb link bot. Google's what did you Google, molten salt. Was that everything they quoted in the press? How did you understand it? Did you read the chemicals of molten salts. Chlorides and nitrates? In that Wiki.

How can these people say there is no impact on the environment? Calling it Natrium. It isn't natural it is chemical and has big run off. Hence I asked. Sure it doesn't have the same nuclear waste. It has other run off. Read that Wiki link. Can you do that. With the rest of the chemicals in molten salts, they are environmentally toxic. Again they aren't the full process of that reactor.

It potentially is worse than carbon.

Whoa whoa. Go take some high school chemistry and try again. Table salt contains the metal sodium. Sodium is NOT salt. It is a meltable metal that can store a lot of heat [and low absorption of neutrons which makes it a good coolant here], which is why it is used to transfer heat in a sodium-based reactor in cooling tubes.to boilers to make steam to run a turbine. The tubes are a sealed closed system and they do not contact the outside world. That is because the sodium would react badly with air and moisture. Basically this is like a railroad steam engine but with nukes instead of burning coal, and the steam drives electric turbines instead of wheels.

There is no runoff, it is a sealed system. You misinterpreted the Wiki article. Ask me anything and I will help with explanation.

It is using sodium derivatives. Sodium chloride and sodium nitrate for molten salts. Where are the emissions going, stream, like burning carbon causes what effect? Stop it.

A steam engine burning coal causes the release of carbon. You are arguing burning sodium causes nothing?

Sodium needs extreme heat before it is viable.

Sealed system that has emissions in the form of both steam and waste water. Anything with a furnace burning quote unquote metals does.

I didn't ask for your bullshit version of science either
