Since you are the idea man

like that, on danger signal input/sensing, will not
only shut down, but distributes the individual small
unit nuke fuel pellets quickly and so far apart that
a meltdown simply can NOT occur?

Gravity cooling as backup brings down the reactor core
temp within minutes to a failsafe level of passive cooling
(no auxiliary power needed unless other options are desired)

Secondly, no trained monkeys ever allowed to run or
supervise anything.

Thanks, Brad. 1st though, let me hear how your
fail-safe nuclear Th reactor is "received" by other
commentators, given that, AFAIK, no working
commercial Th nuker is on-line anywhere and
producing industrial quantities of power output.
Talk to you later, alligator.

If we could only manage to get thorium to produce as much or more
plutonium as conventional uranium fueled reactors, all reactors would
have been thorium fueled to begin with.
