Thorium plants

While thorium nuke plants are safer and cheaper than uranium plants they are still expensive. A new way to build plants was introduced to cut constructions cost by half. A few years ago they built a new bridge across the Mississippi here in Hastings. They started construction on the span about a half mile up river at the same time they started building both ends of the entrance to the bridge. When this was complete they floated the span portion down river and hoisted it into place. The same concept can be used for nuke plants. They can build various portions of the plant in different locations at the same time and in the end bring them all together and assemble the different sections thus saving considerable construction time and of course money. This will be one more reason why the answer to climate change will be thorium nuke plants.
