MSR Ted Talk

I came across this Ted Talk of Kirk Sorensen talking about Molten Salt Reactors.  MSR's are great design reactors, but there are still many material issues that need to be addressed; mainly the heat exchangers and what salt is the best.  These breeder reactors, especially in liquid fuels, are also susceptible to proliferation (i.e. breeding U-235 and online processing to extract it).
