1. Thorium is more abundant in nature than uranium. It is fertile rather than fissile and can only be used as a fuel in conjunction with a fissile material such as recycled plutonium.
Thorium fuels can breed fissile uranium-233 to be used in various kinds of nuclear reactors.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

2. It is possible but quite difficult to design thorium fuels that produce more U-233 in thermal reactors than the fissile material they consume (this is referred to as having a fissile conversion ratio of more than 1.0 and is also called breeding). Thermal breeding with thorium… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
🇩🇰 - Danemark :
Suite a des demandes d'étudiants de plus en plus nombreuses, l'Université Technique du 🇩🇰 réintroduit des cours sur l'énergie #nucléaire.
Fonctionnement, sels fondus, déchets nucléaires, quels sont les 2 designs 🇩🇰 questionnent ils !

Before I knew about this loot looked upon Manmohan Singh as a weak, simple & Robotic PM. But have to admit it was foolish of me to assume this. Actually he has been the most clever shrewd man. Let me tell you he was not a man of choice as FM but PV Narasimha Rao was forcedto

make him FM by IMF & World Bank in lieu for financial assistance. PVR shaped & facilitied opening of Indian economy. But Manmohan Singh took the entire credit. In 1998 Vajpayee introduced drastic changes in Govt. Policy & functioning. Unfortunately BJP lost the next election

Now might be a good time to spread the good word of #nuclear power amid a #petrol crisis driven by a war that most certainly won’t be the only major war of the 20s or century for that matter.
Nuclear power is not an IF, or MAYBE, it’s a MUST.
Nuclear power is not an IF, or MAYBE, it’s a MUST.
Renewables aren’t universally applicable nor are they low on land intensity. Long term solutions in wind and solar aren’t really going to be possible or economically feasible unless you plan to raze thousands of miles to create mega #solar and #wind farms.
#Nuclear is low on land intensity and over time will in a large enough quantity likely outproduce gargantuan and exagerrated wind and solar facilities.
Regardless of your stance on climate change this should be something we all strive for. Nuclear is the best future we have.

Thorium ist ein Aktinid, ein schwach radioaktives Schwermetall, mit dem Atomgewicht 232 -- etwas leichter als Uran: 238 bzw. zu 0.7% 235.
Es ist nicht spaltbar ("fissil"), kann aber sehr wohl in ein spaltbares Nuklid transmutiert werden ("fertil"). Dies nennt man Brüten.

Durch Einfang eines Neutrons und zwei Betazerfälle, bei denen sich Neutronen zu Protonen wandeln, indem sie Elektronen und Neutrinos auswerfen, wird Thorium zu Uran 233, welches gut spaltbar ist.

I have some legit questions for people who hate renewables and think they're a waste of time/money/resources/hope. Not looking to start arguments here, I'm looking to understand views
Are you arguing we should put all the money currently spent on renewables (including research, govt subsidies, etc) into research for advanced nuclear? Worth it to put the amount of clean energy in the US on hold for, at minimum, years until we have designs certified AND built?
Or should we try convincing/enticing/forcing utilities to starting build more large reactors with existing design certs NOW, like AP1000s? Or build ESBWRs, APR1400s (neither of which have been built in the US before), also putting the addition of clean energy on hold for years?
1/ Liquid Fluoride #ThoriumReactors - a type of nuclear energy - have the potential to restore our environment, enrich humanity, and power interstellar space exploration.
2/ There are many types of Thorium Reactors, but most refer to the Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor ("lifter"). LFTRs are a type of low pressure, high temperature, liquid-fueled, thermal breeder reactor. If developed, LFTRs would be the most radical fission reactor ever invented.
3/ LFTRs are a type of Molten Salt Reactor (MSR), which were developed from the Aircraft Reactor Experiment (ARE), but more notably the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) looking to utilize the #thorium fuel cycle.

Tonight on the @CNN #climateforum, Democratic candidates will talk through their plans to rapidly transition our country to clean energy. We’re guessing we’ll hear a lot about #renewables & carbon pricing. But what will they say about #nuclear energy?

Will they mention that it’s the largest source of carbon free electricity in the US?

Will anyone point out that, considering the scale of the challenge, we should get rid of fossil fuels before even thinking about getting rid of nuclear?
