Current nuclear reactors use uranium and plutonium created from uranium as their fuel. Although the technology demonstrably works, it is not without its downsides: concerns about safety, nuclear proliferation and the nature of the waste produced. This talk will explore an alternative nuclear technology that uses thorium rather than uranium and discuss its advantages and its challenges.
