Microsoft’s Futurist promotes the traveling wave reactor as a possible 21 Century green energy source

Peter Henderson of Reuters reports on Microsoft futurist Craig Mundie. Mundie promotes conservation but also predicts that nuclear power will play a major role in meeting 21st century “green” energy needs.
Mundie mentions traveling wave reactors which is a sub type of breeder reactors. Also see Adam Smith’s December, 8th, 2008 post: IFR Technology, the Holy Grail of Clean Energy? about the related Integral Fast Reactors (IFR.) Breader reactors are still largely theoretical, but do promise to help solve another 21st Century problem… what to do with all that 20th century nuclear waste.
