I think things are changing. Thorium, by far, is the greenest source of power on the map. We have all the fuel we need from Colorado, enough to export if we wanted to.
It can be handled with no shielding.
It’s time. In fact, I’m a little shocked we haven’t gone into countries who wanted nuke power and just set it up for them, patted them on the head, and said, “If we catch you using U235 to create P239, we are going to bomb you, mmkay?”
I am an ex-Nuclear Med Tech, so I understand fully the fear and phobia of radioactivity.
Well, we will likely be forced into using it when other things happen that leave us few choices. It would be nice to think ahead, but...no.
