Jean-Pierre Revol - Interview on Thorium Energy via Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) @ ThEC13
Channel: gordonmcdowell

Jean-Pierre Revol discusses the need for nuclear power to combat greenhouse gas emissions. He cites Accelerator Driven Systems as a means of making nuclear power safer... a sub-critical system would need a steady supply of neutrons for fission to occur.

ADS supplies those neutrons. By turning off the supply of neutrons (an "off switch") fission would stop. This would have helped address the Chernobyl disaster (a criticality event) but not Fukushima (loss of cooling event).
