Toryum, alternatif bir nükleer yakıt

Kirk Sorensen bize günümüzde kullanılan nükleer enerjiden daha güvenli, temiz ve verimli olan sıvı yakıtlı toryum reaktörünü anlatıyor.

Thorium-powered liquid fluoride reactors promise safer, more efficient, and nearly waste-free energy compared to today’s nuclear plants. Remarkably, a lifetime’s supply of thorium energy fits in the palm of a hand, and the United States alone has 3,200 metric tons already stockpiled. Unlike conventional reactors that require huge, high-pressure vessels and risk meltdown, this design uses stable molten salts and can safely shut itself down with no human action. By switching to thorium, communities could move away from fossil fuels and dramatically reduce both waste and global conflict over resources.
