thoriumpohjaisia
Thoriumpohjaisia refers to materials or processes that are based on or utilize thorium. Thorium is a chemical element with the symbol Th and atomic number 90. It is a radioactive actinide metal. In nuclear technology, thorium is of interest as a potential fuel for nuclear reactors. Thorium-based nuclear fuel cycles are being explored as an alternative to traditional uranium-based cycles. These cycles offer potential advantages such as reduced production of long-lived radioactive waste and the possibility of utilizing existing stockpiles of nuclear waste.
The concept of thoriumpohjaisia reactors often involves breeding fissile material, such as uranium-233, from thorium-232. This
