HHhhmmmm :-X *rubs chin in scientific way*  Nice find..

I have always believed that Thorium would be a good fuel for a reactor. It is too bad we dont work as hard on that technology as we should. In situ utilization of radioactive materials that can be harnesed and used safely would be the Mars power future.

Fissible materials are not a good long term solution, they create a lot of wastes and, like coal and oil, once it's gone, it's gone.

Technically, the same with fusion materials, at least in the near term where we have to gather it from either oceans or the moon.
