1. Thorium is slightly radioactive metal (actinide)

2. Highest melting point of any oxide (3573 K)

3. Atomic number: 90

4. Melting point is 3182 F

5.Density 11.72 g/cc

6. Mohs hardness: 3.0

7. Largest liquid range of all elements.

8. US has 20% of thorium reserve

9. One site in Idaho produced 4500 Metric tons of Thorium per year

10. Replacing all the US electrical energy consumption would require 400 Metric tons of thorium.

11. There is 160,000 tones of extractable thorium in the US. Thorium is virtually limitless energy.

12. Thorium gives a good signal from space, so mining is very easy.

13. Thorium holds a similar promise too Fusion: safe, sustainable energy, minimal radioactive waste, and environmentally friendly.

14. thorium 232: thermal process, chemical processing system, and electricity generating system. Thermal breeding is safe and no extra material.

15. Why wasn't this done? It was a liquid system and existing system had to be broken. Uranium produced plutonium used for weapons and political these programs received government money.

16. The chemical reaction starts with U233 at the core, the thorium in the blanket becomes the Protactinium, remove the Protactinium chemical process return it to U233, and put the U233 back in the core. Hot in and cold out turns a generator producing electricity.

17. Thorium can not be used for weapons.

18. one ton of Thorium will produce 1 gigawatt of power for a year.

19. The waste decays in 300 years

20. The thorium plant could be used for Shale oil extraction and hydrogen production and desalination because of the high temperature of the reactor core.
