And that's all I have to say about that!
Heh, “sounds too good to be true”. Got any soylent ambrosia for sale?
Does Dr Strangelove work for these guys?
Not if GM made it.
Hmmm, maybe we could use this for power plants and save the natural gas and other fuels to power transportation.
The car looks more like a stylized old Chevy truck.
Paging Steven Hyde...
And that's all I have to say about that!
You could plug it into the wall to power your house at night...
I used Thorium as fuel for a while, back in the ‘70s, but I don’t think I properly shielded the container I used.
The last thing I remember before passing out is running around wearing a horned helmet and carrying a hammer.
After I got out of the ‘hospital’, I went back to regular gas.
OK, and how much does 8 grams of Thorium cost?
Bump
If you could build a reactor small enough for a car, seems it would make more sense to build one that was house-sized.
Then you could maybe sink it into the ground in the back yard for easy shielding, and you wouldn’t need to worry about crashes.
If we all had small power plants in our homes, then electric cars might not be so impractical.
So I guess that means I better get the undercarriage coating.
Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) have powered all of our interplanetary fly-bys and other fancy space stuff for years. When do we get ours?
This guy's family had one of the prototypes for a few months:
You can’t turn it off.......................
Hmmmm, maybe the return of the steam locomotive.
Rest In Peace, old friend, your work is finished..... 
If you want ON or OFF the DIESEL ”KnOcK” LIST jut FReepmail me..... This is a fairly HIGH VOLUME ping list on some days.....
Just a few problems here. First, thorium is not fissile, which means that it does not fission when it absorbs a neutron (to be a little more exact, it fissions only if it absorbs a fast neutron), so, to be used in a reactor, it must be seeded with a fissile isotope, like uranium-235, uranium-233, or plutonium-239. The idea behind thorium reactors is that the thorium absorbs a neutron, becoming thorium-233, which then decays to uranium-233, but you’ve got to put up some initial U-233 (or U-235 or Pu-239) to get the reactor going.
The other problem is that the author of this article does not understand the concept of critical mass. To sustain a chain reaction, one must have some minimum mass of a fissile material to make it work. The mass depends on the geometry (a sphere of plutonium-239 roughly the size of a baseball and weighing a few kilograms makes a dandy critical mass as was demonstrated several times in 1945 - on the other hand give me tons of Pu-239 in a sheet ten feet wide and an inch thick, and it will never acheive a self-sustaining chain reaction, regardless of long the sheet is). For normal purposes, the critical mass of an isotope is measured in kilograms, not grams.
I wouldn’t pre-order a thorium-powered car any time soon.
