The more I read about this thorium, the better it looks as an alternative Peter, I agree. Seems the risk to gain ratio is acceptable, and availabilty is good. The only information missing is what strategies will be employed to deal with the waste product. Most articles Ive read dont deal with it .. I dont know if thats concerning given the context that the thorium reactor was being discussed in, however its an issue I would like to clear up. I know the waste is less and far less dangerous than conventional nuclear waste and I also read that it can be reused ??? If so why is it waste.
