Australia is the country with the largest uranium reserves.
United Kingdom hasn't today known reserves of thorium.
United States has thorium reserves of approx. 160 000 t.
Reserves of thorium minerals are in: India, Australia, Canada, Norway, Russia, United States, China, Turkey, Brazil, etc.
Today India has probable the biggest reserve of thorium minerals.

Thorium was discovered in Sweden by Jons Jakob Berzelius in 1829.
Today India has probable the biggest reserve of thorium minerals.
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.
