If we are serious about global warming we should convert to Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors (LFTRs) as our dominant energy source to replace petroleum. This would reduce carbon emissions to almost zero, allow us to drive, heat and produce electricity several times cheaper, and insure energy...

Forty-five years ago, when I began my 40 yearly summer flights into the Canadian North and Alaska, no one was talking about climate change, and although its effects first appear near the poles, another 20 years would pass before the changes became obvious, particularly to the people who live...

Share this with your friends and family. Remind them that when nuclear power is taken away, fossil fuels will fill the void.

SIR – If we are serious about having long-term, relatively clean and sustainable energy supplies for the future, we should be developing thorium-based nuclear power, wave (and possibly tidal) power and efficient fuel cells for vehicles. Thorium is four times as abundant as uranium and produces...

Some time ago we did articles on the use of Thorium to produce nuclear energy in place of Uranium. As it turns out, recently we’ve received correspondence from readers pertaining to Thorium and so a revisiting of the pros and cons of Thorium reactors seems to be in order. The technical challenges...

The PFBR is being developed by the Indira Gandhi Centre For Atomic Research (IGCAR). The total cost of the construction of the project is estimated to be about Rs. 5677 crore (aka 56.77 Billion Rupees). You may ask why is India interested in building the PFBR and the answer lies in the fuel it...

The Molten Salt Reactor is a completely different kind of nuclear energy system, as different as an electric motor from a gasoline engine. It can't melt down, it can't blow up, and it won't spread contaminants, even if it's damaged or destroyed. It makes a small amount of short-term waste, and it...

These video will eventually deprecate, watch the playlist for the latest iteration.

Gordon McDowell produced and released an iOS app that helps finding and sharing Thorium related videos.

Small nuclear reactors based on entirely different designs from today’s nuclear technology could help the U.S. secure a clean and independent energy and economic future, a former two-term congressman, Navy admiral and senatorial candidate said here. Reactors that use liquid thorium fuel - rather...
