On nuclear energy, on Nauka To Lubię you will find a lot of films about uranium-fueled reactors, i.e. those that have been generating electricity in probably several hundred power plants around the world for several decades. But uranium or even plutonium are not the only elements that can be placed in the core of reactors. There is also thorium. And here begins an interesting story. A story that began in the 1960s, in the USA, because there they began testing structures that could be full-fledged thorium reactors. They were more efficient, easier to scale, safer in some respects and basically did not produce radioactive waste. And yet, in the 1970s, the project to build such a reactor was abandoned. Why? You will find out by watching this film. 00:00-00:23 Introduction 00:24-01:22 Uranium, Plutonium, Thorium - differences 01:23-05:09 Fuel 05:10-06:33 Conspiracy 06:34-09:07 The future source: https://naukawpolsce.pl/aktualnosci/n... / the-forgotten-nuclear-technology-set-to-ca... https://www.industrytap.com/thorium-s... * Episode was created thanks to the support of Viewers: zrzutka.pl/NaukaToLubie If you like my videos subscribe to my channel! http://youtube.com/naukatolubie?sub_c...
