BS.

Here is some more balanced reporting on the status:

"The author and the previous comments have valid concerns but not a good understanding of radioactivity. First; detection does not mean danger. The granite counter top, the bananas in the basket and the person you sleep next to are all irradiating you. Second; when reporting something like 10,000 milli-sieverts per hour, you must supply a critical piece of information to the reader: the range. On contact, one foot, ten feet? The inverse square law applies, double the distance, quarter the dose."

My question is, if Thorium reactors are so great, why isn't everyone using them?

I am still watching this one (LTBR), but I suspect with dirt cheap natural gas, that all nuclear power expansion (other than SO's new plants), including thorium are doomed financially in the US for a good while.
