Yes, we can get more electricity from thorium, if you are asking about the supply.
When 232Th is used in a nuclear reactor, it is bred to become 233U. This isotope of uranium has about as much energy available as 235U, so the amount of energy per fission event is about the same for thorium as it is for uranium.
Aside from that, however, there are important differences. Thorium does not need to be enriched, so all of it can be used. The amount of thorium we have is a multiple of the amount of uranium. The combination means that, where we only have a few decades supply of uranium, we have enough thorium to last thousands of years.
For example the isotope uranium 233 is produced by a reaction (n,gamma) from thorium 232.
Now uranium is more important than thorium.
Thorium: 90 protons Uranium: 92 protons
[Radon_is_found_in_all_kinds_of_rocks_everywhere]Radon exist in rocks containing uranium or thorium.

alpha, to Thorium-231
Thorium: 90 protons Uranium: 92 protons
Uranium and thorium are in the actinoids family.
Thorium-232.
For the nuclear energy: thorium and plutonium
[Radon_is_found_in_all_kinds_of_rocks_everywhere]Radon exist in rocks containing uranium or thorium.
Uranium and thorium minerals contain radon.
Alternatives for uranium may be plutonium and thorium.
Thorium is abundant than uranium in nature. It can be used to generate power.
Radon exist in rocks containing uranium or thorium.
1. Thorium is more abundant than uranium. 2. Thorium is not so expensive as uranium. 3. Countries without uranium but with thorium reserves have the possibility to build nuclear reactors. 4. Natural thorium has only one isotope; enrichment is not necessary. 5. Thorium can't be used in nuclear weapons. 6. The specific activity of thorium is very low. 7. The physical properties of ThO2 are superior to the properties of UO2. 8. The nuclear properties of thorium are suitable for a nuclear fertile material.

- After alpha disintegration the isotope uranium-238 is transformed in the isotope thorium-234. - After alpha disintegration the isotope uranium-235 is transformed in the isotope thorium-230. Platinum is a misspelling ?
