Much safer - no risk of environmental radiation contamination or plant explosion (e.g. Chernobyl, Fukushima, Three-Mile Island)
Much more efficient at producing energy - over 90% of the input fuel would be tapped for energy; vs <1% in today's reactors
Less waste-generating - most of the radioactive by-products would take days/weeks to degrade to safe levels, vs centuries
Much cheaper - reactor footprints and infrastructure would be much smaller, and could be constructed in modular fashion
More plentiful - LFTR reactors do not need to be located next to large water supplies, as current plants do
Less controversial - the byproducts of the thorium reaction are pretty useless for weaponization
Longer-lived - thorium is much more plentiful than uranium and treated as valueless today. There is virtually no danger of running out of it given LFTR plant efficiency

I call for inclusion of all types of MSRs in this investigation, using uranium, thorium, and other actinides as fuel. The investigation should include MSRs as sources of all types of industrial heat, not for only the production of electricity.
I also call for design and construction of research reactors and commercial prototypes. It is time for action.

They would provide more than enough power for large scale industrial projects, including the tar sands for steam production.

Thorium is currently inexpensive, and much more plentiful than Uranium. If we can look to building these modern nuclear plants to help feed the needs of our growing country, then we should do so with zeal.

]]> Sun, 24 Jun 2012 07:21:58 UTC 13177645 Mr Julien Martin [Signature #56] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/13176347?utm_medium=rss The Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor uses Thorium-232 as a primary fuel source, an element that has an absolute abundance of 8-13 parts per million in terrestrial rock, and that is also highly concentrated particularly in heavy rare earth deposits such as Monazite sands. Thorium itself is uninteresting and not so different from other breed-able nuclear fuels. We could spike uranium with cheaper thorium to be used in current CANDU reactors as fuel, for instance, as it behaves similarly to Uranium-238, another breed-able fuel source. Where Thorium differs significantly in advantages is its use in a totally different reactor system: The LFTR. This system performs under near ambient pressures, rather than the extreme pressures needed by light water reactors and CANDU reactors to keep their water coolant liquid. It supports complete online fuel and waste-stream reprocessing through molten salt distillation, allowing us to extract precious nuclear products such as Plutonium-238 for radio-thermal generators, Bismuth-213 which can be used in the treatment of highly labile cancers, and thorium-229 to be used in nuclear clocks, Mo-99 for the production of medically important Tc-99m, and more.

a) its waste is only about 1/20 (or less) of that of ordinary solid fuel reactors
b) it burns about 99 % of its thorium fuel, compared with only about 0.7 % of the fuel in the solid-fuel version, and thus is more energy efficient
