New website for MicroNuclear, LLC Richard McPherson April 3, 2022 The Molten Salt Nuclear Battery (MSNB) is a game changer for America and the world. In early 2018 had you asked me if I could learn anything more about nuclear power, I would have said, “I don’t think so”. I was wrong. I have learned so much from Dr. Paul Marotta and his team. It can be in production next year. The next closest is the DOD under the Pele Program. They “hope” to down select and have a micro-reactor to test in 2027. It appears as the next viable and closest is NuScale Power and GE with small modular reactors (SMRs) planned to start up in 2029. By then, MicroNuclear can have the MSNB installed providing emission free, protected electricity and/or thermal energy on all of our military bases, national security facilities and many of our incorporated cities for continuity of services including support first responders and the National Guard. https://micronucleartech.com/ Note by John Shanahan: Richard McPherson has about fifty years of real-world, hands-on experience with most nuclear power programs in the USA. He has never over promised and always made sure he correctly understood the potential problems. His statements could become a reality if the government stays out of the way.
