4GO10 - Thorium (Original Mix)

you know, there are many ways to fix this planet, without the use of nuclear power, we could use, "Thorium", (Thorium is a weakly radioactive metallic chemical element with symbol Th and atomic number 90. Thorium is silvery and tarnishes black when it is exposed to air, forming thorium dioxide; it is moderately hard, malleable, and has a high melting point), a radioactive chemical element found in nature as thorium-232. It is found primarily in the rare earth mineral monazite but can also be found in euxenite and thorianite. Thorium is found more abundantly in the Earth's crust than uranium and only occurs naturally in an oxidised form. and whats more using thorium as a nuclear fuel instead of uranium point out that it solves many of these problems. Thorium can't be weaponized because it doesn't produce enough recoverable plutonium, which is required for building nuclear weapons, used to coat tungsten filaments used in electronic devices, such at television sets. When bombarded with neutrons, thorium-232 becomes thorium-233, which eventually decays into uranium-233 through a series of beta decays. Uranium-233 is a fissionable material and can be used as a nuclear fuel, Liquid fluoride thorium reactors are designed to be meltdown proof. A plug at the bottom of the reactor melts in the event of a power failure or if temperatures exceed a set limit, draining the fuel into an underground tank for safe storage. Mining thorium is safer and more efficient than mining uranium, Th is an isotope of thorium whose nuclei contain 144 neutrons. Th-234 has a half-life of 24.1 days, and when it decays, it emits a beta particle, and in so doing, it transmutes into protactinium-234. Th-234 has a mass of 234.0436 atomic mass units (amu), and it has a decay energy of about 270 keV as, standardz, hahahahahaha, :) #edio
