Big whoop, a Thorium Salt reactor can burn nuclear waste down to Lead and extract some energy from it to boot.

I’ve been seeing stuff about thorium salt reactors recently, but haven’t been able to find much of anything by an unbiased source about pros and cons.

Articles by enthusiasts are interesting, but generally one-sided.

Do you know of a good backgrounder?

Why stop at lead—take it to gold! :-)

Sounds good to me. But... can you put a thorium reactor in your basement.
