THORIUM Nuclear Power: A Practical Alternative to Uranium Fission - It Makes a Low Amount of Radioactive Waste, Unlikely to Meltdown, Abundant Fuel.

In 2021, Russia provided US nuclear utilities with 14 percent of their uranium purchases. We Can Mine Our Own Thorium...

Thorium fuel cycles offer attractive features, including lower levels of waste generation, less transuranic elements in that waste, and providing a diversification option for nuclear fuel supply. Also, the use of thorium in most reactor types leads to extra safety margins.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium-based_nuclear_power

Thorium-based nuclear power generation is fueled primarily by the nuclear fission of the isotope uranium-233 produced from the fertile element thorium. A thorium fuel cycle can offer several potential advantages over a uranium fuel cycle^{[Note 1]}—including the much greater abundance of thorium found on Earth, superior physical and nuclear fuel properties, and reduced nuclear waste production. One advantage of thorium fuel is its low weaponization potential; it is difficult to weaponize the uranium-233/232 and plutonium-238 isotopes that are largely consumed in thorium reactors.

China prepares to test thorium-fueled nuclear reactor...

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02459-w

Scientists are excited about an experimental nuclear reactor using thorium as fuel, which is about to begin tests in China. Although this radioactive element has been trialled in reactors before, experts say that China is the first to have a shot at commercializing the technology.

I Emailed Biden and Said: NO NUKES! I think a Six Billion Dollar Bailout for the FAILED Nuclear Power Industry is a Bad Idea... The Last Thing we need is EVEN MORE Radioactive Waste that we have to Store Safely and GUARD for 10,000 Years... Imagine is we built $6 Billion Dollars worth of Solar Panels? WAKE UP!

Biden announces $6B to bail out nuclear plants at risk of closure...

Biden administration 

launches $6 billion 

nuclear plant bailout

Energy Department credits will be offered to plants facing closure, such as those in Michigan and California DIABLO CANYON!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/04/19/biden-administration-launches-6-billion-nuclear-plant-bailout/

To the editor: In saying he may attempt to delay the closure of Diablo Canyon, the state's last operating nuclear power plant, Gov. Gavin Newsom expressed concern about projected energy shortages.

Perhaps he hasn't read the April 15 letter to the editor in the Capitol Weekly by the director of the California Public Utilities Commission, which states: "The State has ordered an unprecedented amount of new clean energy procurement — 11.5 gigawatts — to replace the retirement of Diablo Canyon (along with other aging gas plants that are retiring). This includes wind, solar, batteries, geothermal, and long duration storage that will be online starting in 2023."

California has been given seven years' notice to replace dirty, dangerous and expensive nuclear energy with truly clean power. Any portion of the $6 billion in federal money that Newsom may seek to keep Diablo Canyon operating would be better spent on further increasing clean energy production.

Didn't I just read that California has a projected $68-billion budget surplus?

Decades before clickbait was a thing, antinuclear rhetoric was on its way to become the ultimate clickbait. Just throw the words nuclear, cancer, waste or radiation into a title and you’re bound to get thousands of hits.

San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, or SONGS, has been inundated with this stuff for a long time. But the intensity seems to be growing, even eight years after the nuclear power plant shut down. The recent focus has been on the spent nuclear fuel, better referred to as slightly used nuclear fuel.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2020/06/07/nuclear-waste-is-the-ultimate-clickbait--just-ask-songs/#2c9a5ba72288

This fuel has been out of the reactor for between 8 and 27 years. The really hot stuff decays away before 5 years while the spent fuel is still in pools of water. The half-life of the remaining hot stuff, Cs-137 and Sr-90, is only 30 years, so these are a lot cooler than when they were in the reactor. After 200 years, the fuel isn’t very radioactive at all since all the hot gamma-emitters are gone.

GO AHEAD AND EAT SOME RADIOACTIVE WASTE! MOTHERF*CKER...  HOW CAN YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT KNOWING THAT EVERY DAY YOU MAKE THE WORLD A WORSE PLACE TO LIVE??? 

Great Movies: TRON and TRON Legacy. Science Fiction that takes us inside a computer to a Stunning Fantasy World. Computer Graphics Masterpiece...and... Great Biography: "For the Love of Spock." Movie about Leonard Nimoy. Interviews with everyone from Star Trek, His Family and Friends...and...The Movie "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" was filmed near Crescent City.

The Original TRON was filmed in 1982 when the first computer graphics were possible. Fantastic Special Effects and an Interesting PLOT! Partially filmed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory at the Shiva Nuclear Fusion experiment. The Computer That Sucks Jeff Bridges in is at the LAB... He is sitting at a Terminal and His Body Gets Scanned...

Great Biography: "For the Love of Spock." Movie about Leonard Nimoy. Interviews with everyone from Star Trek, His Family and Friends.

Directed by his son Adam Nimoy. An intimate portrait of Father and Son... Made me think about my own Father...

A look behind the scenes at who was Leonard Nimoy and why Star Trek was important. Also a look into the vast quantity of other work he did... Broadway Musicals, Records, TV Shows, Movies, Photography and being a Father to his Son and Daughter.

I especially like visiting the Redwood Forests of Northern California. The Movie "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" was filmed near Crescent City.

The Ewok Villages and the Forest Moon of Endor. The flying motorcycle scenes were filmed by having the Stedicam Inventor, Garrett Brown walk thru the woods following the path they travel... and then Industrial Light and Magic bluescreened in the Actors and Flying Motorcycles...

On Highway 101 traveling North from Eureka, just past Trinidad, there is a rest stop with a paved footpath that looks just like the movie... A little imagination and you can hear the little teddy bear people singing and playing the drums...
