>The Civil Nuclear Energy Renaissance - Richard Mills - Aheadoftheherd
I like nuclear reactors- Thorium is the better nuclear fuel. Th 232 using a proton accelerator. 1. Weapons-grade fissionable material(Uranium233) is harder to retrieve safely and clandestinely from thorium reactor than plutonium is from the uranium breeder reactor. 2. Thorium produces 10 to 10,000 times less long-lived radioactive waste than U or Pu reactors. 3. Thorium comes out of the ground as a 100% pure, usable isotope, which does not require enrichment, whereas natural uranium contains only 0.7% fissionable U235. 4. Because thorium does not sustain chain reaction, fission stops by default if we stop priming it, and a runaway chain reaction accident is improbable. This is quite far the nearest thing we have to a fusion fissionable reactor.

Beginning of the headline :Concerns about climate change, carbon footprints, energy security and the rising cost of fossil fuels spurred a revival of interest in nuclear power generation. In early 2010 we saw the start of a of a global nuclear renaissance. It was derailed when the unfortunate Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant accident paused the renaissance for reactor safety inspections. As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information Concerns about climate change, carbon footprints, energy security and the rising cost of fossil fuels spurred a revival of interest in nuclear power generation.In early 2010 we saw the start ofa of a global nuclear renaissance...
