joining us now is also with us, senior legal analyst jeffrey toobin and bj bernstein. jeff, in terms of the lethal injection, the process, it -- that itself is a process filled with controversy? >> these right. lethal injection was developed as a supposedly more humane alternative to electrocution and the gas chamber. but in recent years, lethal injection itself has become very controversial, not as simple al thing as someone would assume to put someone to death intra venously. many of the states use what's known as the three judge cocktail that has been problematic. some of the drugs that have been use ready not available in sufficient quantities this three-judge -- three-drug cocktail has been challenged as inhumane. in fact, the united states supreme court in a very controversial case in 2009 called bays v reese addressed the issue of whether lethal injection was cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the eighth amendment. and the court said, no, but it was a 5-3 decision, as i recall, and it is just -- it's -- it's in and of itself, controversial and sometime

>>bj÷rk: the waste product you get most of is plutonium, and this can be mixed with thorium.this is the kindof fuel we are investigating at thor energy. and when you put the thorium plutonium fuel in the reactor and the plutonium is consumed. >>reporter: that said, there are those that believe the element might work better as a sole fuel. this is emma, a compact electron accelerator which is been built in england to create a new kind of nuclear reactor known as an adsr. it will use thorium like its competitors elsewhere in the world but in a very different way. >>cywinski: what thor energy are doing are mixing thorium with uranium and plutonium. in fact this is the route the indians are going down as well...they're mixing uranium and plutonium into the thorium and then using that mix as their fuel. what we are trying to do is build an adsr using pure thorium, so the idea is that if you have this really remarkable clean nuclear fuel - why mix it with something dirty like plutonium in order to drive it... see if we can actually run a reactor purely on thorium and nothing else..
