What happened to and why aren't we using the relatively safe Thorium Cycle for nuclear power?
Why aren't we using thorium designs in nuclear reactors?
Why do nuclear reactors have to be so big? What types of nuclear reactors are currently in use? If nuclear submarines have been used for decades, why can't the same technology be applied to small scale nuclear reactors to make energy less costly? From where do the neutrons come to use in a nuclear reactor to bombard on uranium-235? How small can nuclear reactors theoretically get? How were nuclear reactor cores designed before the use of advanced computer modelling? What is the neutron source in a nuclear reactor? Why is uranium the element used to create nuclear energy? How can I make a nuclear reactor? What is the use of nuclear reactors in generating electricity? How do nuclear reactor makes electricity? How is uranium ore made into nuclear fuel? Why is uranium used in nuclear power plants? Why does removing U238 atoms from uranium increase the chances of a neutron fissioning a U235 atom? Why haven't we developed a fusion reactor capable of generating more energy than it consumes? What are the problems we face? Why do neutrons need to be slowed down in fission reactions? Would it be possible to power MBTs (Main Battle Tanks) with fission-type nuclear reactors by today’s standards in large series? How does a nuclear fission power plant operate? Is a nuclear fusion reactor safe? Why don't we have fusion reactors in power stations? Why are nuclear power plants not built underwater to use gravity to flood reactors when the cooling system fails? Why isn't there an explosion like an atomic bomb in nuclear reactors? What are the control rods in nuclear reactors made of? Why are only certain elements used to produce nuclear energy? Nuclear Physics: Why does radioactive decay take place? Why does nuclear fusion give more energy that nuclear fission? Why don't we already have nuclear fusion power? Why do nuclear power plants use uranium and how is it used? What are some examples? Process of making nuclear weapon? Disadvantages of nuclear energy?
