distributed thorium power plants

same question as my post above. What do you thing thorium does for anyone that uranium doesn't do. And don't give me this horsehockey about some sort of uranium shortage.

Way more than I can try to condense into a post, but it’s not because of any U shortage. Here’s a good starting point:

https://liquidfluoridethoriumreactor.glerner.com/2012-what-is-a-lftr/

https://eic.rsc.org/feature/is-thorium-the-perfect-fuel/2000092.article

There have been proposals for smaller scale LFTRs that lend themselves to distributed generation - many small generation plants near the high demand areas rather than larger ones like we have today which require costly and vulnerable transmission infrastructure.
