“Thorium has been hiding in plain sight deep within the earth” Wow 😂

Ha ha, yeah. We did discover the stuff way back in 1828. Nuclear energy started at about 1951. But yeah, I'm glad you noticed that. I like it.

yup! uranium too :) the benifits aren't really from thorium itself, but more to do with the technology that makes its use possible. breeder reactors are really amazing. they'll also turn uranium 238 into fissile plutonium 239, making it possible to extract EVEN MORE energy from uranium, and even work with nuclear waste.

I bet many people are crossing their finger for your success with the reactor. If you spread the hype to far then it starts to eat your own progress. So better put out some solid info about your testing results and the functional progress. Peace!

But it’s not fissile
@CopenhagenAtomics7 ай бұрын
That is correct. It is fertile. Therefore, we can breed fissile material from thorium by using a kick-starter fuel such as LEU or Pu.

We have known about thorium for ages. It’s so much safer safer than uranium but the USA and the Russian federation chose to use uranium because as a byproduct it created enriched uranium that could be used for atomic bombs.
@curtrapp52917 ай бұрын
Seriously? The properties of U were well known even during the Manhattan Project. That's why the first bomb was made using U and needed no testing. Thorium is not fissile. It can fission from fast neutrons but water will slow down fast neutrons to thermal energy so not much Thorium will actually fission. U-235 does fission at thermal energies so water is a great moderator. Th was considered but discarded in favor of U.
@CopenhagenAtomics7 ай бұрын
@curtrapp5291 You are quite correct, yet also missing a few details. Thorium is correctly not fissile, it is however fertile. In thermal spectrum thorium will absorb a neutron to become Th233, which through beta decay will become Pa233 and then U233, which is fissile in thermal spectrum.

@@catandchipmunks Nope, incorrect on all accounts. We already have stockpiles of U238 ready to go into a reactor that could last the entire world a few hundred years. Uranium is more safe than thorium from a proliferation standpoint, and equally safe in a reactor. There is just as much if not more uranium than thorium, that's a myth.
