The planet is time to

Supports the idea of ​​Nobel laureate and Kirk Sorensen, a former NASA engineer, rocketry, working as the head of the department of nuclear technology to Teledyne Brown Engineering, reported novostinauki.

- This is a very promising! . - When you get to know him better, then you have head starts spinning on the opportunities. Thorium can be a source of energy for mankind for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is almost free. Eliminating the need to deal with uranium cartel.

Thorium is so common on Earth, that the miners refer to it as a by- product radioactive, which prevents them to reach the rare-earth metals. In the U.S. and Australia has large deposits of this metal. Besides, you do not need to produce a lot of raw material, because it completely goes to fuel, in contrast to the all 0. 7 percent of the useful substances extracted from the whole mass of uranium.

- We have very little time, because fossil fuels will soon be over, and renewable energy are not yet able to completely replace them, - said Professor Edzhil Lillestol, which is developing the thorium fuel cycle at CERN.

Norwegian group Aker Solutions has bought the patent of Dr. Rubbia on thorium fuel cycle, and is currently working on a proton accelerator in its British division. Aker wants to connect to the draft United States, Russia or China. We Indians have their own project, though not yet built - they switched to thorium because of the lack of uranium.
