  2. Thorium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium

    Thorium is a chemical element. It has the symbol Th and atomic number 90. Thorium is a weakly radioactive light silver metal which tarnishes olive gray when it is exposed to air, forming thorium dioxide; it is moderately soft and malleable and has a high melting point. Thorium is an electropositive actinide whose chemistry is dominated by the ...

    A temperature-controlled terrarium with plants inside. A terrarium (pl.: terraria or terrariums) is an glass container containing soil and plants in a environment different to the surroundings. It is usually a sealable container that can be opened for maintenance or to access the plants inside; however, terraria can also be open to the atmosphere.

    Thorium-234. 234Th is an isotope of thorium whose nuclei contain 144 neutrons. 234 Th has a half-life of 24.1 days, and when it decays, it emits a beta particle, and in doing so, it transmutes into protactinium -234. 234 Th has a mass of 234.0436 atomic mass units, and it has a decay energy of about 270 keV.

  6. Thorium-based nuclear power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium-based_nuclear_power

    A sample of thorium. Thorium-based nuclear power generation is fueled primarily by the nuclear fission of the isotope uranium-233 produced from the fertile element thorium.A thorium fuel cycle can offer several potential advantages over a uranium fuel cycle [Note 1] —including the much greater abundance of thorium found on Earth, superior physical and nuclear fuel properties, and reduced ...

  7. Molten-salt reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten-salt_reactor

    A molten-salt reactor (MSR) is a class of nuclear fission reactor in which the primary nuclear reactor coolant and/or the fuel is a mixture of molten salt with a fissile material. Two research MSRs operated in the United States in the mid-20th century. The 1950s Aircraft Reactor Experiment (ARE) was primarily motivated by the technology's ...

  8. Thorium compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium_compounds

    Thorium reacts with hydrogen to form the thorium hydrides ThH 2 and Th 4 H 15, the latter of which is superconducting below the transition temperature of 7.5–8 K; at standard temperature and pressure, it conducts electricity like a metal. [12] Thorium is the only metallic element that readily forms a hydride higher than MH 3. [31]
