Sentences with phrase «safer than uranium»

I have heard that Thorium reactors are cleaner, make 1 / 1000th of the waste and are safer than uranium - only reactors.

Thorium is relatively abundant (a cubic metre of garden soil typically contains around 60g of Thorium), and it is much safer than Uranium or Plutonium (a Thorium reactor can not sustain itself, so if it starts overheating, you just turn off the power supply).
