Core-Power chief executive Mikal Boe believes anxiousness towards radiation is at the heart of public "fear" of atomic power.
"The fact is that the amount of radiation we’re exposed to outdoors, on a plane, swimming in the sea and walking in the mountains, is way greater than anything we’re exposed to from atomic power," he told TradeWinds.
So how safe is the marine molten salt reactor (m-MSR) technology that his company is developing?
Core-Power compares the difference between conventional nuclear reactors and molten salt reactors (MSRs) to that between a pressure cooker and caramel melting in a pan.
