[Vo]:Thorium being backed as a future fuel

2013-11-06 Thread Blaze Spinnaker
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24638816 Nuclear scientists are being urged by the former UN weapons inspector Hans Blix to develop thorium as a new fuel. Mr Blix says that the radioactive element may prove much safer in reactors than uranium.

'If thorium ever makes it as a commercial nuclear fuel, uranium may be seen as a massive and costly diversion. Some supporters of thorium believe that it was bypassed in the past because governments wanted the plutonium from certain conventional reactors to make atomic bombs. They believe thorium

In re-reading this thread, one other factor is worth mentioning wrt the oxygen connection to LENR. It does tie the Gen3 paper to Randell Mills via the Rydberg levels of hydrogen AND oxygen (when aligned and slightly unbalanced on the high side). It could easily be true that oxygen is desirable

RPR then releases the hotter UV photon which can create another catalytic hole (when slightly downshifted) especially in oxygen preferentially. A limited chain reaction, mediated by UV photons, is the result. In short, this hybridized version provides a more complete picture than Mills,
