Sinopse
1. Thorium is slightly radioactive metal (actinide) 2. Highest melting point of any oxide (3573 K) 3. Atomic number: 90 4. Melting point is 3182 F 5.Density 11.72 g/cc 6. Mohs hardness: 3.0 7. Largest liquid range of all elements. 8. US has 20% of thorium reserve 9. One site in Idaho produced 4500 Metric tons of Thorium per year 10. Replacing all the US electrical energy consumption would require 400 Metric tons of thorium. 11. There is 160,000 tones of extractable thorium in the US. Thorium is virtually limitless energy. 12. Thorium gives a good signal from space, so mining is very easy. 13. Thorium holds a similar promise too Fusion: safe, sustainable energy, minimal radioactive waste, and environmentally friendly. 14. thorium 232: thermal process, chemical processing system, and electricity generating system. Thermal breeding is safe and no extra material. 15. Why wasn't this done? It was a liquid system and existing system had to be broken. Uranium produced plutonium used for weapons and poli
