Welcome to the board. It reduces the total fuel cycle cost by 10%, and reduces spent fuel by 55% by volume and 70% by weight.

Im not sure that the cost of urnanium is the concern in the indistry, it's the waste and saftey that make the undustry unpopular and open up barriors to world nuclear expansion. THPW has solutions to these issues.

These are the benefits of thorium power's fuel:

-Potential cost savings of up to 10% in total fuel cycle cost

-Significantly reduced amount of spent fuel (55% by volume and 70% by weight)

-Increased proliferation resistance of spent fuel (no weapons usable materials)

-Improved reactor safety.
