“Heard some interesting stuff on a company touting thorium electrical generating plants the other day. Seems the research was done at Oak Ridge, but was written off because you couldn’t build nuclear weapons from it. Sounded promising”
Thats what ,I read and this technology was not used,The Chinese are basing their next generation of power plants on this and expect to have some online in 5 years, Now we will watch them go after the thorium supplies.
India just brought a thorium reactor online. We should be leading the way on this. We invented it at Oak Ridge back in the 1950’s.
“Now we will watch them go after the thorium supplies”
One of the selling points mentioned in this presentation was that thorium was dirt cheap and not hard to come by (even though it is called a rare earth element) You have obviously heard or read some of the same things I have. It’s above my pay grade to decide these things, but it sounded plauseable
