OH PULEEZE....give us a break with your postulations based on what you want it to be rather than what it is.
ttbn....you're so full of it!

COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME ALON; AND HISSING INTO THE WIND!

Thankyou THINKABIT, for introducing the topic of thorium to this thread!
My interest was first ignited by Professor, Robert Hargreaves and his peer-reviewed book, thorium cheaper than coal, and verified in form and substance by the work of prize-winning Journalist Richard Martin and his peer-reviewed book Thorium, Super fuel, subtitled green energy.
Ivy league Professor (retired) economist Robert Hargreaves, the source of the estimate of reticulated power, from PRIVATE ENTERPRISE of as little a 2.98 cents PKH, or as we would put it Per KwH.
Kick Sorensen NASA scientist and nuclear technologist A further fully informed source that I, unlike you, chose not to disbelieve.
And because as a sufferer, my search into possible cures for brain cancer, is where my research led me.

Brain cancer remission rate has hardly moved in the last thirty years and the death toll is higher than the national road, kill death toll. With an average lifespan from diagnosis to death of just fourteen months. And 98% not making it past five years. And just as justice deferred is justice denied! So also is a remedy deferred a remedy (the only one) denied

Thorium is fertile, not fissile and therefore cannot be compressed to create a thermonuclear explosion.
But can be converted over time, around two weeks? Into U233. U233 decays into other also fissile products and useful isotopes, one of which is Bismuth 213.
Bismuth 213 is an alpha particle isotope, with a half-life of just 45 minutes.
Only MSR allows it to be removed without time wasting delay of interminable shutdowns.
And is attached to an antibody which targets cancer cells like a snipers rifle target ferals.
And to date has produced complete remission in death sentence cancers like myeloid leukaemia. pancreatic cancer and some very nasty brain cancers! TICK, TICK, TICK!
The only bollocks on display here is that THINKABIT actually does as his nom de plume describes!

Alan,

Trust you to make every post a winner:). There was no need for thinkabit to make the thorium comment, which has nothing to do with the topic. He'll probably think twice before he has another go at you.

However, I do agree with him that there will never be peace in the Middle East, thanks to Islam and Palestinian terrorists.

The real problem is that the Palestinian leadership and a large number of their supporters want to kill all Jews anywhere west of The River Jordan while the Jews would prefer not to die.

Until the Jews are prepared to compromise on this totally unreasonable negotiating position, nothing will be resolved.

Dear Mhaze,

When it comes to the Middle-East, one thing that may help to calm things down is to stop referring to Israelis as "Jews".

Only 75.6% of Israelis are Jews and there are varied views and little agreement among them about what it means to be a 'Jew'. Regardless, no Israeli (well, perhaps a handful, we also had our David Goodall) prefers to die.

There was a time when all the Arab states, including Egypt and Jordan, referred to Israelis as 'Jews'. Their intent was derogatory, but this is no longer the case - as relations thawed, officially or otherwise, Arab countries, in fact even Iran, now use 'Israelis' (they still use "Jewish settlers" to refer to Israelis who live in the West Bank, but it is distinct from the general Israeli population). It's mainly only Islamic extremists who still call Israelis 'Jews'. Please don't give them more ammunition.
