"surging demand from AI, EV, and cryptocurrency use"


Yes, all these being useless technologies. Power consumption is meant to be be in going in the other direction rather. Power consumption should be considered the dual of progress.

Quote from: Gary Bickford on June 12, 2024, 14:32:25According to the Terrapower website, the liquid is indeed molten salt (sodium chloride), not liquid sodium. So the article's "caveat" about how dangerous sodium can be is off base. Liquid salt is hot, but not reactive in any sense. It's about as safe as anything that hot can be.

Not Quite.  The website states the reactor uses liquid metal. 

The site contradicts itself.  My apologies Gary.  in the main page it states liquid metal and later:
Unlike today's Light Water Reactors, the Natrium reactor is a 345-megawatt sodium fast reactor coupled with TerraPower's breakthrough innovation — a molten salt energy storage system, providing built-in gigawatt-scale energy storage.
