i wonder how well this process could work if adapted to cleaning up radioactive contamination...like at bikini atoll for example...

I knew not to bother to read any further. If they can't get that right, they have no business pretending to be science writers.

I’m inclined to see thorium-based fuels as a better alternative to the use of uranium. It is more plentiful, safer and easier to transport.

Hehe... he said uranyl ions.

With the rapid depletion of fossil fuels, the search for alternative power sources is becoming increasingly important.

Increased use doesn't equal rapid depletion. Current use has barely scratched the surface of what is available. Still, replacing as much power generation as possible with nuclear will spare so-called fossil fuels for chemical uses.

The oceans pu t together may contain 1000 times as much uranium as in the mines on land — but in how much water? It is going to have to be cost effective to filter it out, before the oceans can be “mined” for uranium.

Uranium fission is soooo 20th century. Let's go to the moon for He-3 for fusion.
