Thorium is a naturally-occurring, slightly radioactive metal discovered in 1828 by the Swedish chemict Jons Jacob Berzelius, who named it after Thor, the Norse god of war.It is found in small amounts in most rocks and soils, where it is about three times more abundant than uranium.Soil commonly contains an average of around 6 parts per million of thorium.
Thorium, as well as uranium, can be used as a nuclear fuel. Although not fissile itself, thorium-232 will absorb slow neutrons to produce uranium-233, which is fissile. Hence like uranium-238 it is fertile.
Domestic Production and use:
The primary source of the world’s thorium is the rare-earth and thorium phosphate mineral, monazite.Monazite was not recovered as a salable product during dome...
