Accelerating Futures Michael Anissimov has an excellent article about mass producing and improving thorium reactor designs. We should use our improving technology (better materials, nanotechnology) to make current technology like fission even better economically and remove or radically reduce the downsides. We should also re-evaluate and redesign our systems.
