Talk:PowerPedia:Thorium Reactors

Comments

Through another list, I came across this site, which proposes to convert current atomic reactors to run on Thorium rather than Uranium.

Although atomic energy is not my favorite technology for the future, I find it intriguing that

such a conversion seems possible with little technical trouble
reactors running on thorium would be much less polluting than current ones
changing reactor technology would take wind out of the sails of wartime use of atoms - both bombs and DU munitions.
such reactors could be downsized considerably and promise to be non-critical, i.e. they could not get out of control.

As such, I think we should at least be aware of this option.
