A few months ago I reached out to Senator Feinstein's office offering some ideas on direction for energy policy, particularly as it relates to Southern California's recently closed San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. I recommended that the site be opened up for demonstrations of advanced reactor technologies that can securely process spent nuclear fuel while simultaneously producing power for California's grid. I specifically mentioned the Denatured Molten Salt Reactor (DMSR), a similar design to the more popular Liquid Flouride Thorium Reactor (LFTR). Two weeks ago I received Senator Feinstein's reply. It was much more substantive than I was expecting.
