Thorium-232 is the most common isotope and is not able to undergo nuclear fission in a thermal neutron reactor. Instead when thorium-232 absorbs a neutron, it transmutes to uranium-238, a viable nuclear fuel. Originally, thorium extraction was a process that was high in energy and waste, using large amounts of heat and solvent.

(DOI: 10.1306/0BDA5A89-16BD-11D7-8645000102C1865D) Because of analytical difficulties, few data are available on the thorium and uranium contents of sedimentary rocks. More than 200 new thorium and uranium determinations have been made by gamma-ray spectral technique and by an alpha activity-fluorometric uranium technique.

· 1 Introduction. The purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual recovery process for thorium dioxide from its primary source, monazite. Monazite contains phosphate compounds of rare earth elements, uranium, and thorium. The thorium content of monazite (as ThO 2) varies up to 20% with 5 to 10% being typical [ 8 ].

Thorium provides a much more fuel efficient process than uranium, coal, oil, natural gas, and any renewable source. If thorium reactors provided all the needed electricity for the US, we would only need 5,000 tons of thorium per year as opposed to 35,000 tons of uranium per year, or 3.5 million tons of coal per year.
