It might be due to its abundance - 4-5 times more thorium than all uranium isotopes combined - and widely spread across the earth with large deposits in Brazil, Turkey and India.
It does have one big downside - its reaction creates U-233 - which can be used as the fission fuel for nuclear weapons according to wikipedia - though the presence of the problematic U-232 as an additional side product in the thorium cycle might diminish that. |

Blackcat, you are literally ****ing retarded.
The price of unprocessed uranium is only ~50$ a pound, you ****ing idiot. The cost of getting raw uranium contributes something like 1% to the cost of running a nuclear plant. Everybody and his ****ing uncle knows that there are heavy metals in seawater and that it's technically feasible to recover them. But to recover something as cheap as uranium from seawater is retarded. Why don't you just feel free to shut your trap instead of exposing your ignorance? |

BlackCat, just give up while you're behind. The issue with nuclear power is not the ****ing cost (or supply) of uranium. It's infrastructure and disposal. Holy ****, we don't even reprocess ****ing fuel in most of the world's nuke plants. It's just single pass-through.
You are literally one of Poly's worst posters. Virtually nothing you post is interesting, you're needlessly argumentative on subjects which are FAR beyond your understanding and you aren't even clever enough to come up with interesting insults. You're the first one on my newly-empty ignore list. Congratulations. ![]() |
