A different video but yeah that is the guy. Essentially, the big point that I gathered is that in a traditional reactor you are constantly trying to keep the thing from going out of control but with a thorium reactor you are constantly trying to keep it going so if there is a catastrophic event the reactor just goes back to an inert state rather than melting down. So, is this for real or just BS?

What about thorium, Is that a for real possibility? I remember seeing a video somewhere about it and it seemed like a no brainer, the future.
