Bill Gates To Help China Build Traveling Wave Nuclear Reactor

Posted by samzenpus on from the power-to-a-billion-people dept.

First time accepted submitter BabaChazz writes "Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates says he is in discussions with China to jointly develop a new kind of nuclear reactor. During a talk at China's Ministry of Science & Technology Wednesday, the billionaire said: 'The idea is to be very low cost, very safe and generate very little waste.' Gates backs Washington-based TerraPower, which is developing a nuclear reactor that can run on depleted uranium."

    China has billions, if not trillions that they MUST send back to America one way or another. They are currently attempting to buy as much high tech from traitors as possible.
