Thorium

[edit]

It was assumed in the 50s and 60s that thorium-based nuclear reactors would be the future of atomic power. Thorium was a much more common element than uranium, the waste byproducts were less and have a much much shorter half-life than uranium. In the 60s the AEC was doing research into the details of thorium reactor design. Suddenly the head of the AEC was fired and all thorium reactor research was stopped. It can only be assumed that Big Companies who had money invested in uranium reactor technology (from the bomb) used a little political clout to get rid of a competitor. Interest in thorium reactor technology continues to this day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.95.232.25 (talk) 23:58, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
