Light water reactors are complex, expensive, and vulnerable to core melt, steam explosions, and hydrogen explosions, so better technology is needed. MSRs could operate safely at nearly atmospheric pressure and high temperature, yielding efficient electrical power generation, desalination, actinide incineration, hydrogen production, and other industrial heat applications. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCoverage includes:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotivation -- why are we interested?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnical issues – reactor physics, thermal hydraulics, materials, environment, …\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric designs -- thermal, fast, solid fuel, liquid fuel, …\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecific designs – aimed at electrical power, actinide incineration, thorium utilization, …\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorldwide activities in 23 countries\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is a collaboration of 58 authors from 23 countries, written in cooperation with the International Thorium Molten Salt Forum.
