More importantly, we should also focus on research for fusion reactors. It's a very difficult source of energy, but the successful invention of a fusion power plant would end all problems of our energy crisis.
Fusion has been "just 20 years away" for twenty years now.
I say we build a network of LFT reactors first, as they are safer, smaller, and more efficient than the Uranium plants that we built to provide ammo for the nuclear arms race. Once that's done, we can divert additional resources to trying to achieve fusion.

We have been able to reliably create Uncontrolled Fusion for 60+ years.
Controllable for what? 30?
Now the hurdle is to make it cost efficient (IE Create more power than it creates to jump start it)
Last I heard, we also couldn't maintain a controlled reaction for more than about half a second.

The thing is, if ITER proves fusion to be a viable source of energy, why would we not focus on it? Yes, LFTR is one of the best sources of energy we have so far, but if fusion can actually generate energy would we not be better served using it?

Even if ITER is successful in producing a self-sustaining fusion reaction, there's no guarantee that the net energy generated will be more than that produced by a LFTR. There's also not guarantee that it'd be cost effective.

Just vitrify the waste, put it in a stainless steel container and dump it into a deep hole in a geologically stable area far above the water table.
Y'know, like Yucca mountain.

We do have Titan...Saturn5's that didn't ever explode. We could just drop the shit into the sun
