>>937989322Wow, the propaganda.
Thorium fission reactors haven't been perfected. Th-232 is not fissile, it is fertile, meaning it can be turned into fissile material. When Th-232 is bombarded with neutrons, it becomes fissile U-233. U-233's major problem is it's breakdown and daughter products release more gamma radiation than standard U-235. That is there the problem lies. If we can perfect robotics and AI to deal with these products after the fact, Th-232 reactors will be much more attractive.
But ya, the propaganda here only shows the good side and ignores the bad.
The other good thing about Th-232 is it is about as common as Lead is. U-235 is much less abundant and requires enrichment to be useful.
