But is thorium really cheaper, cleaner and more efficient than uranium? And if so, do the added benefits really warrant the cost and effort to make the switch? Data is still pretty scarce, but at least one report is urging us to not believe the hype.
Hype? Thorium is much more abundant than uranium. That's not hype.
The piece doesn't mention molten salt reactors. Those can work with uranium as well. They are more efficient and cleaner than conventional reactors. You don't have to get hung up on Thorium. There was one design that didn't emphasize Thorium all that much, from what I can gather.
