To unlock the enormous energy potential of fissile materials, would be to resolve the global warming problem that is affecting our climate today. Fossil fuels are the major contributor towards this serious problem, yet a solution is available by achieving fusion of Thorium within the molton flouride salt reactor process. This process was developed by scientists at the Oak Ridge Laboratories in the 1950's but abandoned in the 1960's, in favour of Plutonium production through the Uranium chain reaction.

To produce electrical power with Uranium as the fuel, is just 2%-3% efficient and does not achieve fusion of the electrons and the protons. besides leaving some serious toxic pollution problems behind. The Thorium reactor process (LFTR) achieves fusion, is 95+% efficient and just leaves a low-level treatable waste behind it.

China, Japan, Korea plus other nations are now developing the LFTR plant and some variables further, for domestic use then commercial introduction to the rest of the world.

It will benefit mankind when we cease burning fossil fuels for producing electricity, using the scientifically proven Thorium reactors instead. Join the Thorium campaign, by finding out more and lobbying for a cleaner greener future.
