## What is Thorium?

"Thorium" app details how thorium can be transformed into energy.

Nuclear bonds contains a million times the energy of chemical bonds. Thorium is abundant. Thorium can be converted into energy through nuclear fission. When doing so, thorium produces far less long-lived nuclear waste than fissioning uranium in today's reactors.

A series of educational videos first introduce thorium and the concept of fission, then contrast the use of thorium in a Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) against today's reactors, solar and wind.

## Key features

- Thorium energy transformation explained
- Nuclear fission concepts
- Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) comparison
- Contrast with current energy sources
- Educational video series

### 3/5 — Needs a history checklist

*2016-01-18*

A good effort and hats off to doing their part in getting the word about thorium out there.  I watched two videos but there was no indicator that I already viewed them.  I do see a (old) header but maybe a 2012 2013 2014 etc header or category would be better.  Go Thorium!

### 4/5 — Great thorium resource but...

*2015-03-04*

All the best vids in one place for learning about LFTR and other molten salt reactors, yes!! One issue, the audio quit working after a short time, no sound now, probably xenon eating my sound particles, arg.

### 4/5 — Thank you

*2014-10-04*

Thanks for doing this. It was getting difficult to sort out all the videos on YouTube.

### How does Thorium explain nuclear fission?

Thorium uses a series of educational videos to introduce the concept of nuclear fission and how it applies to thorium.

### Does Thorium compare thorium reactors to other energy sources?

Yes, Thorium contrasts the use of thorium in Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) against current reactors, solar, and wind power.

### What is the learning methodology of Thorium?

Thorium employs an educational video series to explain complex scientific concepts, making learning accessible and engaging.

### How is Thorium's progress tracking?

Thorium focuses on delivering educational content through videos. Specific progress tracking features are not detailed in the provided information.

### Does Thorium offer certifications?

### When was Thorium last updated?

Thorium was last updated on June 9, 2017, with version 1.12.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.12 — 2017-06-09

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

New edit of primary video, 4h additional content.

### 1.11 — 2016-06-15

Bug fix.

### 1.10 — 2016-06-10

Finally, the addition of Thorium Remix 2016. This deprecates "Th" chapters and presents the Thorium story in a much improved narrative.

### 1.09 — 2014-10-12

Added new video chapter. Deleted weakest video chapters. Resequenced chapters. Watching from start to finish now a very different experience.

### 1.06 — 2014-02-20

Part 10 of "Th" thorium documentary now public. Latest iteration is included, and Th10 sharing enabled. Th10 is an hour in length. It covers past nuclear disasters: Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima. How can we make the safest nuclear reactor possible?
