I am interested in hearing your opinions about nuclear power, what you know, if you have any fears, or ideas? Do you know if your country has any nuclear power generation?

      Thorium is a byproduct of rare earth element processing, and also exists on its own in ore deposits. My home country of Canada has insane amounts of it in the ground.

      Thorium is actually insanely abundant, if we built reactors that used it, thorium would never be the bottleneck. We would need plutonium/uraium though I think the jump start the reaction.

        Yea but thats such a litle amound of uranium in compairesen. We will prob find a other way of jumpstarting the reaction if there was more budget in thorium reactors
