Chancer Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 [quote user="woolybanana"]seems too easy![/quote]There might just be a clue in the text, spot the oxymoron:It is almost impossible make nuclear weapons out of thorium because it is too difficult to handle. It wouldn’t be worth trying." It emits too many high gamma rays. Thorium-fluoride reactors can operate at atmospheric temperature. "The plants would be much smaller and less expensive. You wouldn’t need those huge containment domes because there’s no pressurized water in the reactor. It’s close-fitting," he said. Nuclear power could become routine and unthreatening. .
