Geeking Out on Thorium @ .NET Rocks!
NORWAY BEGINS FOUR YEAR TEST OF THORIUM NUCLEAR REACTOR
Almost all of the world’s nuclear power plants are uranium reactors.
But interest in thorium reactors is strong, particularly in nuclear happy China.
Energy Independence and Sustainability - The Energy From Thorium Foundation
Thorium is apparently much safer and efficient that Uranium,
but it was not "interesting" during cold war
since it could not be used as a weapon.
If only a fraction of military spending is used
to speed up this research/development,
it could enable safer future for energy and environment...
And if USA does not do it, China will. What is US government waiting?
