Hopes Build for Thorium Nuclear Energy
There
is much written to the effect that thorium might prove a more viable
nuclear fuel, and an energy industry based upon it, than the current
uranium-based process which serves to provide both energy and weapons -
including "depleted uranium" for armaments and missiles. There are
different ways in which energy might be extracted from thorium, one of
which is the accelerator-driven system (ADS). Such accelerators need
massive amounts of electricity to run them, as all particle accelerators
do, but these are required to produce a beam of protons…Read more...
