What is the common compound of thorium?
Common compounds of thorium: thorium dioxide, thorium trifluoride, thorium tetrafluoride, thorium tetrachloride, thorium triiodide, thorium diiodide, thorium tetraiodide, thorium nitrate, thorium oxalate, thorium carbide, thorium sulfides, thorium nitride, thorium oxinate, etc.
Which element has 90 electrons as a neutral atom?
Thorium (Th).
What are uses for plutonium chloride?
Now only laboratory/research use; in the past plutonium chloride was proposed as nuclear furel in a molten salts type nuclear reactor.
What are the chemical properties of thorium?
Thorium is a tetravalent element. Thorium react slowly with water; thorium can react with concentrated nitric acid and hydrogen chloride. Thorium can react with the majority of other chemical elements. The Pauling electronegativity of thorium is 1,3.
How much thorium is in bitumen?
Bitumen has not thorium.
When will Stephen Harper invest in Thorium Molten Salt Reactor research?
He will invest in 2018.
Will thorium fueled reactors be built in the US?
Today any thorium reactor exist in USA.
What is the working principle of thorium based fast breeder reactor?
thorium is breed to make uranium-233 fuel
Which elements are used for nuclear reactors in India?
Uranium. There is some interest in using thorium in the future. Thorium cannot be used directly as fuel in a reactor as it does not fission, it requires a fast breeder reactor to convert it to Uranium-233 which does fission.
Why thorium is not used as fuel in nuclear reactors?
Thorium is and can be used as a fuel in nuclear reactors. It just happens to be not fissile, so it needs a neutron flux to create Uranium-233, which is fissile. There are pros and cons of using Thorium. For more information, please see the Related Link below.
What is Thorium breeder reacter?
In this type of nuclear reactor the fertile isotope thorium-232 is transformed in the fissile isotope uranium-233 and this act as a nuclear fuel.
Why cant thorium be used as energy to power up individual homes?
Thorium is not a fissile material. And for fissile materials - is impossible to have a nuclear reactor in each home.
Is salt viscous?
Molten salt is viscous.
Why cant homeowners use thorium to use as energy to power up individual homes and stay off the power grid?
Thorium is not a fissile material; and also is dangerous and expensive to have a nuclear reactor in each home.
How did the chernobyl disaster harm the environment?
fallout from burning graphite mixed with molten reactor fuel.
Is salt a nonelectolyte?
Solid salt is a non-electrolyte; salt solution or molten salt are electrolytes.
Where is kakrapara project?
kakrapara is in Gujarat it ts first reactor in the world to use thorium rather than depleted uranium. Neeru
