Gujarat is the world's first reactor which uses thorium than depleted uranium Looks like the reporter has established his or her knowledge level.

<>depleted uranium
Yup, it's all enriched from the naturally available ore, it's only depleted compared to weapons grade uranium.

Looks like the reporter has established his or her knowledge level.And knowledge of English with this statement:
Compated to uranium, thorium has less fissile.
Compated? That's a new one.
Also, where can I get some of this "fissile?" I always thought fissile was an adverb rather than a noun.

Looks like the reporter has established his or her knowledge level.I also like the fact that "thorium has less fissile."

Looks like the reporter has established his or her knowledge level. Maybe the sentence was supposed to read "then depleted uranium". A thorium reactor could burn depleted uranium by breeding it to plutonium-239, the same way it burns thorium by breeding it to U-233.
