OverviewThorium Systems Invalidate the Conventional Uranium Supply and Tailings Model examines the entire front-to-back end of the conventional uranium fuel cycle, from mining and conversion to enrichment tails and tailings liabilities. It marshals quantitative operational and regulatory data to argue that the chemical and radiological overhead of uranium provides a rationale for adopting alternative cycles like thorium. Th…
