Other homegrown efforts by start-ups like Flibe Energy, Thorium Power, and Lightbridge are struggling ... 90% of which we currently import from Canada. Our looming medical isotope problem is ...

The TPC (Thorium Power Canada) Thorium Reactor is a one-of-a-kind technology whose modular design can achieve any output desired at significantly reduced capital and carrying costs. The cost to build ...

In nature, thorium (such as the sample shown here) is found as thorium-232. Countries such as Russia, India and China have plans to use thorium in nuclear reactors, partly because of its safety ...

I agree 100% with the premise that nuclear power ... of thorium nuclear waste is much less complex. Thorium alleviates the concerns that people have about nuclear reactor safety. CANDU (Canada ...

In the mid-twentieth century, some U.S. physicists considered building the nuclear power landscape around thorium ... at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. The fuel rods used in light water ...

Thorium has long held promise for “safer” nuclear power. A slightly radioactive element, it transforms into fissionable U-233 when hit by high-energy neutrons. But after use, U-233 creates ...

Thorium is also present in scientific lenses, some ceramics, cameras and electric lamps. Perhaps most intriguing is the idea of using thorium as a source of nuclear power. When the conversation ...

The ANEEL™ fuel is made of thorium and high-assay low-enriched ... fuel technology and in advancing nuclear power generation across Canada and globally,” says Mehul Shah, CEO and Founder ...

Thorium Power Canada (TPC), based in Toronto, is in "advanced discussions" with Indonesian and Chilean authorities to supply a small thorium reactor to each country, said CEO David Kerr ...

By contrast, thorium "breeder reactors" actually make their own fuel, through a clever arrangement of radioactive elements. The reactor's initial source of power is again uranium. But it's a ...

There's a lot of buzz around thorium, a lesser-known nuclear fuel that some say could transform the global energy landscape. But what exactly is thorium, and how does it compare to uranium?
