Thorium can be used as fertile material (as ThO2) in nuclear power reactors; is a precursor of the fissile isotope 233U.
This type of reactor is called a breeder: the reactor produce more fissile material than it consumes. It is a very strange and important characteristic.

What is the chemical element of thorium?
Thorium: natural chemical element, metal, solid, radioactive, actinoids family, period 7, atomic number 90, used in breeder reactors, etc.
Where is thorium located on the periodic table?
The atomic number of thorium, Th, is 90 and it is an inner transition element in the Actinide series. The Actinide series is the second of the two series shown by themselves. It starts Actinium, Thorium, Protactinium, and Uranium, so Thorium is the second element in the Actinide series.
