from the thorium energy blog, using thorium as the fertile material and U-233 as the fissile material has a secret advantage in the “proliferation” department–the inevitable formation of uranium-232.

Alliance has the potential to develop commercial technologies and sources of isotopes needed for a new domestic medical supply chain Uranium and thorium are long-lived (long "half life"), naturally ...

In 1980, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) observed that protactinium, a chemical element generated in thorium reactors, could be separated and allowed to decay to isotopically pure ...

Isotek Systems, in partnership with TerraPower Isotopes, co-created by Bill Gates, are “producing cancer treatment material ...

There is a “fact sheet” about thorium issued by the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (IEER) and Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR) called “Thorium Fuel: No Panacea for Nuclear ...

Scientists have developed a new system for producing radioactive isotopes, or "radioisotopes" for cancer therapy. The system uses a simple radionuclide generator to repeatedly separate thorium-226 ...

Thorium reactors have long been proposed as a cleaner, safer alternative to conventional nuclear energy, and now a new Russian study has added another potential benefit to the mix. Scientists from ...

Nuclear energy is making a comeback. Across Europe, governments are pouring huge amounts of money into new power plants while startups are busily working on smaller, modular alternatives. Most of ...
