"It is likely that thorium’s use will continue to decline unless a low-cost disposal process is developed or new technology, such as a nonproliferative nuclear fuel, creates renewed demand."

U.S. Geological Survey, Mineral Commodity Summaries, January 2007


WTF!!

This is the official position of the US government?

Doesn't this fly in the face of all the current research on Thorium fueled reactors?

If this is the official impression, afraid the progress of Thorium will continue to be paced by the efforts of the Uranium industry in concert with the advocates of thermonuclear war and depleted uranium armament makers.
