Petition Thorium energy
More details
To secure Britain in the coming age against energy scarcity and dependency on outdated technology.
LFTR: liquid fluoride thorium reactor
1.The LFTR produces energy cheaper than from coal.
2.The LFTR produces about 3% of the waste of a light water reactor of the same power and much of this "waste" can be extracted and sold within 10 years. Moreover, this waste need only be sequestered from the environment for 300 years, a far less daunting task than the 300,000 years required for todays LWR waste.
3. The LFTR uses an inexhaustible supply of inexpensive thorium fuel.
