Let’s Use Thorium

by adminadam in home

No Comments Comments
  • Thorium is 4 times more common in the Earth’s crust than Uranium, and much safer to use as fuel.
  • Thorium is useless for making nuclear weapons; we can freely share the reactor designs.
  • Total energy extraction from Thorium is 200 times more efficient than that of Uranium.
  • Virtually all fissile material is used up in Liquid Flouride-Thorium Reactors, producing significantly less waste.
  • Low-temperature, low-pressure process makes meltdowns impossible.
  • Fail-safe salt plug halts reaction immediately upon loss of power or other malfunction.
  • All this extra energy can be used to create synthetic fuels from water and CO2, like methanol, ammonia, and dymethyl ether (for diesel).

“It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after your own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”

– Ralph Waldo Emerson
