    Does anyone on this website know what a Thorium Breeder reactor is?

      A Breeder Reactor creates more fissile material than it consumes. It would be a good way to make Nuclear power a renewable power source. Thorium has a half life that’s as long as the age of the Universe (free useless fact of the day :))…but isnt used midely as fuel.. I dont know why.. might just be production costs are cheaper for Uranium..
