That would certainly be the prudent thing to do. Note that much of the initial work has already been done in various places. Google "Aqueous Homogeneous Reactor". >Controlling the concentration of dissolved fuel—U-235 in the thorium breeder >reactor concept would be difficult to assure a reasonably steady power with >good reactivity control IMHO. Possibly, though reprocessing is "designed in", and changes can be made in very small increments to "test the waters". ;) [snip] Regards, Robin van Spaandonk local asymmetry = temporary success
