Thorium explained - the future of cheap, clean energy?

This video explores thorium as a promising solution for achieving cheap, clean energy for our grid. It examines what thorium ...
It is possible to recycle the U-233 decay into new fuel, or continue fueling the machine with it as is, the latter of which is usually done with molten salt reactors like this new thorium reactor.
Thorium reactors were first developed in the 1950s in the U.S., before it went all-in on uranium, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The ANEEL™ fuel is made of thorium and high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU), developed for use in pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs) and Canada deuterium uranium (CANDU) reactors.
In this video, we’ll take you on a journey from the history of thorium-232 to its potential role in next-generation nuclear reactors, exploring how this element could be the key to a safer, more ...
Thorium reactors are a road not taken, an alternative to designs based on the uranium fuel cycle that the West adopted.
PLN, meanwhile, has conditionally included the use of thorium molten salt reactors in its National Electricity Business Plan for the period spanning 2017 to 2026.
