Great article, take a look at this comment at the end of the article. This is very interesting. "Re: better nuclear power by xbox 11/27/2007 10:41 AM Thorium Power's fuel cycle is much better than the CANDU thorium fuel cycle. In the Thorium Power fuel cycle, Uranium-233 is burned as fuel in the reactor as it is being produced. In the CANDU thorium process, or any other thorium process, the Uranium-233 is a waste byproduct of the fuel cycle. Since Uranium-233 is valuable, it can be reprocessed and re-introduced as fuel into the reactor. Reprocessing is a very expensive proposition, which is the real reason why there isn’t a single thorium fuel reactor in the world. Thorium Power’s process is plain common sense – and well ahead of any other thorium-based concept. Reply
