This was a small presentation that I and two other students completed for our green engineering seminar class. The topic that we chose to study was Thorium reactors. We chose this topic because we all shared a common interest in alternative energy, specifically nuclear. Thorium reactors are an alternative form of nuclear energy, and our presentation focused on the history of thorium and how it is used today. Our findings showed that thorium did not provide the same amount of benefit as uranium during the 1950’s, the time which many large countries started to consider using nuclear energy as a fuel source. Today the United States uses uranium in it’s nuclear reactors. Other large countries like India and China have been investing large amounts of time and research into implementing thorium reactors throughout their countries. Those were the main findings from our research about Thorium Reactors. Feel free to explore the presentation for more information.
