  5. Re:Thorium is very dangerous on Peter Thiel: We Need a New Atomic Age · · Score: 1

    No.
    The main radiological risk is from all the highly contaminated chemical waste generated 24/7/365.

    You have to use a lot of reactants, and all that matter is mixed with the isotope soup that is molten nuclear fuel. When you get the byproducts of the chemical reactions out, they are highly contaminated from the nuclear point of view.
    These cannot be safely stored, cannot be cleaned, and will inevitably leak over time, sooner or later.

    Thorium is more dangerous than the actual reactors.
    The problem with thorium/sodium reactors is not so much the reactor, but the chemical plant that needs to be online all the time nearby the reactor reprocessing continuously molten fuel
    - the complete chemical plant needs to hold the fuel. Each leak will basically condems the whole site.
    - there is no known material capable of containing this molten fuel for a long time.
    - there are dangerous by products. An example is Tritiated fluorhydric acid. Extremely dangerous.
    - there is a continuous stream of toxic and radioactive waste, of much higher volume, and much more dangerous than traditional.
    etc.etc.etc.

    It's basically adding the complexity and problems of a chemical processing plant operating over extremely radioactive molten metal over a nuclear reactor. Combining the problems of both.
    Yeah. that's not dangerous at all .
