I've made up a 'Handout' from some PowerPoint slides, to distribute at an Institute of Physics (IoP) presentation next week: Fukushima - Lessons Learnt.
It's intended to be printed off as a double-sided A4 sheet, which anyone can do and use it as a handout/cribsheet/whatever. When you open the link, you need to click the blue 'File' tab in the top left-hand corner and scroll down to 'Print'.
50% of what needs to be done was achieved 'in t' gud ode days', when we overworked the pencil sharpeners. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to think how quickly and efficiently we could get to the first-of-a-kind LFTR, in these days of computer modelling and planning and CAD/CAM.

To generate electricity for a city of 1 million people for 1 year:___Mine 3,200,000 tonnes of coal - emit 8,500,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases and particulates - landfill 900,000 cubic metres of toxic/radioactive fly-ash.___OR___Mine 50,000 tonnes of uranium ore - emit no greenhouse gases - produce 24 tonnes of radiotoxic 'waste'.___OR___Mine 50 tonnes of equivalent thorium ore - emit no greenhouse gases - produce 0.8 tonnes of radiotoxic 'waste'.
