I have posted a number of articles about thorium. It is a radioactive element that some have suggested could replace uranium and plutonium in a new generation of reactors. Supporters say that thorium reactors would not be prone to meltdowns if cooling systems failed and they would not produce waste as dangerous as that produced by commercial reactors. India has huge reserves of thorium and has been working to develop commercial thorium reactors for decades.

Nuclear energy has always been closely connected to national and international politics. The promise of nuclear power was sold in the United States and the Soviet Union because their governments wanted to spend more money on nuclear weapons development than their people were willing to support. Promising cheap energy from nuclear reactors was one way of pouring ever more money into nuclear research and development.
