"The problem is that the neutron irradiation of thorium-232 could take place in a small facility," Ashley said. "It could happen in a research reactor, of which there are about 500 worldwide, which may make it difficult to monitor."Comment:
But this has nothing to do with its use as a fuel. Besides, this can be done anyway, regardless of its use as a fuel or not, and could have been done for decades now and we wouldn't know about it. There's nothing new here.
What they are trying to say here is that anybody can make a nuke with thorium. So, why haven't they?
Update:
The idea of a U233 bomb is absurd. It is impossible to have a pure U233 because it simply can't happen. Read this here.
