Dan Yurman at Idaho Samizdat has a resource-rich update on the PRISM reactor design. Here’s an excerpt:

…At the same time, Lisa Price, a senior VP at GE Hitachi, testified before the House Science and Technology Committee encouraging lawmakers to support R&D needed to complete the technology for recycling nuclear fuel.

…This week venture capitalist Steve Kirsch published a long and very detailed article online at the Huffington Post on the history of the IFR reactor design and operational work at ANL-W interviewing many of the principal scientists who worked on the project including John Sackett and Charles Till.

Please do continue reading Dan Yurman’s post. Lots of good links on the history and future of the IFR. I also recommend the IFR section at Australian climate scientist Barry Brook’s site. Barry has become an effective advocate for getting serious about large scale IFR deployment.
