The Bridge to Fusion: 4 Advanced Nuclear Fission Technologies

May 9, 2016February 9, 2015 by

Popular Mechanics Thorium This radioactive metal is three to four times more common than uranium, and, unlike uranium, it doesn’t generate weapons-grade nuclear material after it’s burned in a reactor. (The United Stated experimented with thorium reactors as early as the 1950s, before the element lost out to uranium.) Virginia-based Lightbridge aims to capitalize on … Read moreThe Bridge to Fusion: 4 Advanced Nuclear Fission Technologies
