You know, it always amazes me that whenever we come up with new forms of generators and reactors, it still all comes down to boiling water more efficiently

As a science nerd from Denmark, I just want to say thank you for taking the time to come to our little neck of the woods and telling the story of Copenhagen Atomics!

In the 1996 strategy game Master of Orion 2, Thorium Fuel Cells was a top tier research that gave your ships unlimited range. It's always fun seeing something in real life that reminds you of favorite sci-fi from childhood.

Fun fact, eating Thorium salt instead of Natrium salt gives you more energy.

This kind of tech is why I want to get into the nuclear industry. This is so cool to see, as an engineer, what could be more exciting than changing the landscape of energy?

Lol yeah. I saw the title, and the immediate answer is probably just “more irrational fear of nuclear power”
