If Thorium is so much better than Uranium, why don't we use it and why didn't we use it?
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 6 hours ago
In the long term it is going to be all about thorium. What that means is that we will have Thorium salt reactors acting as convenient heat engines world wide. Why this is important is not production efficiency which the uranium cycle excels at, but the actual decay chain of Thorium. That chain ends up producing safe decay products. Even more important is that we can fold in uranium sourced radionucliedes which increases their neutron bombardment speeding their decay. Thus the future of nuclear envisages absorbing all nuclear wastes into thorium salt reactors. As time progress...
