Why nobody uses it, same as p-B11?

Fusion might just be a dream.

We know that Thorium works as a reactor was working for 3 years till 1969.
The Yanks didn't want cheap power - they wanted plutonium for making bombs
so Thorium wasn't used.


I honestly believe that we have ended the fossil fuel age &
are about to enter the Thorium age.
It will last for 10,000 years or more -
there is just so much Thorium on this Earth.

A Thorium reactor was working for 4 years:



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten-Salt_Reactor_Experiment


The Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) was an experimental molten salt reactor at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) researching this technology through the 1960s; constructed by 1964, it went critical in 1965 and was operated until 1969.[1]

The MSRE was a 7.4 MWth test reactor simulating the neutronic "kernel" of a type of inherently safer epithermal thorium breeder reactor called the liquid fluoride thorium reactor. It primarily used two fuels: first uranium-235 and later uranium-233. The latter 233UF4 was the result of breeding from thorium in other reactors. Since this was an engineering test, the large, expensive breeding blanket of thorium salt was omitted in favor of neutron measurements.

In the MSRE, the heat from the reactor core was shed via a cooling system using air blown over radiators. It is thought similar reactors could power high-efficiency heat engines such as closed-cycle gas turbines.

World’s First Thorium Molten Salt Experiment in over 45 Years



Thorium Energy


Published on Aug 17, 2017


Europe have begun the world’s first thorium molten salt reactor experiment in over 45 years. With this, Europe has entered the Thorium Energy race!
Who will be next?

Read the full article here: http://www.thoriumenergyworld.com/new...

Thorium is a natural element that can power the world for thousands of years with clean energy!


You can hold your entire life’s energy supply in the palm of your hand with thorium.
It has been estimated that 30 times more thorium than what is required to power the entire world’s energy demand is mined as a by-product and thrown away every year.
The race to commercialise thorium is on with China in the lead followed by India, Indonesia and now Europe.
At ThoriumEnergyWorld.com we strive to power the world with Thorium Energy!

Thorium - Target for 2080 maybe.

Sorry but that is where it is going.

Good idea - Yes.

Going to happen - No.

In happened in the late 70s & it's happening again.

This is the start of the Thorium age.
It will last for 10,000 years.

The coal & oil age is finished.

Still no commercial product in the near future. 2 or 3 companies looking at development. One committed to having something by 2030 which they very likely will not meet.

The Indians & Chinese have massive efforts costing $billions -
it won't take that long.

This thread needs to be bumped up to the top.
maybe I should make it a sticky thread?

No problem at all.
Thorium is so safe that reactors could exist close to suburbs
right in cities.

I'd welcome a Thorium power station.
It's the only proven technology that can save our planet.
