Thorium is plentiful, less radioactive, safer, its supporters say
Thorium, an element that’s plentiful in the United States, is a cleaner and safer fuel, supporters say. And the reactor technology has been around for decades.
Barely radioactive, thorium can be recycled relatively easily, the Thorium Energy Alliance says.
“Thorium is my client,” he said with a smile. “This needs advocating because it’s just sitting on the shelf, and it’s the ideal future of energy.”
When asked the power source’s downside, he said:
“The people who are negatively affected, financially.”
Anyone in the uranium industry would be one of those, he said.
