Abstract. In the 1960s and 70s, great interest developed in the thorium fuel cycle as a supplement to limited uranium reserves. A great amount of work was carried out and many interesting developments resulted, among which were prototype high temperature reactors. It was shown that thorium could be used practically in any type of existing reactor.Web

The fission energy of 233 U is 190 MeV and that of 239 Pu is 200 MeV. If 1 kg of thorium were bred into 233 U, the fission energy available would be 78.9 × 10 12 J thermal (78.9 TJ th).The fission energy in 1 kg of natural uranium, bred to 239 Pu, is 80.4 TJ th.Thus thorium and uranium are quite similar in maximum energy content, but …Web
