Description
The app explains how thorium can be converted into energy through nuclear fission. It contrasts thorium use in Molten Salt Reactors with current reactors, solar, and wind power through educational videos.
"Thorium" app details how thorium can be transformed into energy.
Nuclear bonds contains a million times the energy of chemical bonds. Thorium is abundant. Thorium can be converted into energy through nuclear fission. When doing so, thorium produces far less long-lived nuclear waste than fissioning uranium in today's reactors.
A series of educational videos first introduce thorium and the concept of fission, then contrast the use of thorium in a Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) against today's reactors, solar and wind.
