http://ThoriumRemix.com/ Thorium is a naturally occurring radioactive substance found just about everywhere on this planet.
We have lots and lots of thorium.
And it has some unique properties. One of them is-
If you hit thorium with a neutron, the thorium will absorb the neutron and it will turn from Thorium-232 into Thorium-233.
It's going to decay into Protactinium-233, and then it will decay in about a month to Uranium-233.
Uranium-233, if you hit it with a neutron, it will fission.
In addition to releasing all that energy, it will release 2 or 3 additional neutrons.
Alright- So you need 1 of those neutrons to go find another thorium.
And you need another 1 of those neutrons to go find another Uranium-233, to continue the reaction.
You've fissioning Uranium-233 but you're making a new one.
You can almost think about it as a pseudo-catalyst.
If you had some Uranium-233 you could catalyse the burning of thorium indefinitely.
