However, thorium must be used together with U-233, at least in the start-up stage, to produce energy in the thorium fuel cycle. Neutron can trigger a fission reaction in U-233, resulting in 2 fission products and 2 or 3 neutrons. When hit by a neutron, Thorium-232 is transmuted to Thorium-233, which then quickly decays to Protactinium-233.Web
