You do know that the blankeded reactor only have a 7 year run cycle? Have you seen the costs of a traditional reactor? Ya know with a 9" thick vessel only made in Japan.
The ONLY reason we don’t have LFTR reactors is because at the time the US was in the middle of a nuclear arms race and you can’t build a bomb that can be hidden (gamma rays) using the decay chain from thorium.
And it would also risk the capitalistic model y’all love so much.
If they were able to get a MSR to run for 9 years in the 1960’s we could easily do it now. Stop being a Debbie Downer
