Podcasts about Thorium

The Indian achievement at Kalpakkam is a historic milestone in the world of nuclear energy. In this deep dive, we explore the science behind India's Fast Breeder Reactor, a "magic machine" that actually produces more fuel than it consumes. We trace the journey of Uranium from the heart of a Supernova to the power of E=mc², and explain why India's vast Thorium deposits are the ultimate key to our energy independence. Discover how our scientists overcame global isolation to master liquid sodium cooling and why this project is the backbone of India's 3-stage nuclear program. If you want to understand how a few grains of sand from the coasts of Kerala could power the future of a nation, this is the story of India's silent nuclear revolution.

In Episode 328 of The Green Insider, host Mike Nemer sits down with Swapan Kataria, chairman of Thorium Atomic Power Corporation, to explore the future of thorium nuclear energy in the global energy transition. The conversation covers advanced nuclear reactors, LNG market shifts, baseload power demand, nuclear fuel recycling, energy security, and the regulatory barriers affecting next-generation nuclear deployment. Swapan explains why he moved from LNG development into thorium-based nuclear innovation, how thorium compares with uranium on cost and availability, and why countries like India and Indonesia may move faster than the United States in scaling new nuclear technologies. The Green Insider — Episode 328 In this episode, you’ll learn: Why Crown LNG paused its U.S. LNG project and shifted attention to international energy infrastructure opportunities. How thorium nuclear energy differs from uranium in availability, economics, and long-term fuel-cycle potential. Why advanced nuclear reactors and thorium technology could support reliable baseload power and grid stability. How spent nuclear fuel recycling could expand usable energy resources and reduce long-term waste challenges. Why India and Indonesia may emerge as early markets for thorium reactor development and deployment. What U.S. nuclear permitting, regulation, and project development hurdles still slow next-generation nuclear energy.

In this episode of Beyond the Indus, Dr. Anil Kakodkar, former chairman of India's Atomic Energy Commission and one of the principal architects of India's civilian nuclear program, joins us to discuss the history and future of India's three-stage nuclear program in the wake of this year's landmark breakthrough at Kalpakkam. We discuss the strategic logic behind Homi Bhabha's 1950s vision for a thorium-based path to energy independence, the science and engineering challenges of fast breeder reactor technology, India's decades of nuclear isolation, the safety record of nuclear power and how public perceptions have been shaped by Chernobyl and Fukushima, and the role of nuclear energy as a complement to renewables in the global push for net zero. Dr. Kakodkar also makes the case that India's thorium fuel cycle represents a proliferation-resistant model for meeting the world's long-term energy needs.

Seventy years ago, Homi Bhabha designed a three-stage nuclear plan built around one idea: that India's future was thorium, not uranium. The science was proven, the reactors were built, and by 1996, India had already demonstrated a thorium fuel cycle at an experimental reactor in Kalpakkam.What it never did was take it to commercial scale. In 2025, an eight-year-old American startup did exactly that — with a fuel designed specifically for Indian reactors, and a former chairman of India's Atomic Energy Commission on its board of advisors. So what happened in between?Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Sjovt nok så handlede vores allerførste afsnit om Tid og Tidsrejser (29.01.2018). Og nu tager vi lige et deep-dive tilbage til selvsamme tema.Karina's noter til dagens afsnit:Tid - Målinger:Vi lever i en synkroniseret liv og tid er over det hel og en vigtig del af vores opfattelse af virkeligheden.Hvad er tid? Vi kan starte med hvordan man måler den: Med et ur.Et ur er en oscillator og noget der kan tælle svingningerne. Jo finere tidsinddelingen er, jo mere nøjagtigt kan uret være.Solen er en oscillator. Den går op og ned og vi er dem der tæller. Nøjagtighenden er 1 svingning per dag.Så opfandt vi pendul uret, hvor mekanik (tandhjul) tæller. Svært at bære rundt på og det skal trækkes op. Nøjagtighenden er ca. 1 svingning per sekund.Så opfandt vi Quartz uret. Her er det Quartz krystallen der svinger/vibrer/deformerer når den er udsat for en strøm.Her er det elektronik (digital logisk system) der tæller svingningerne. Nøjagtighed: 32 768 svingninger per sekund – approx. 10^(-13)Så kom atom uret: Cs atomer bruges her. "A Cæsium-133 atom has a ground state with a hyperfine structure, meaning the electron can have two slightly different energy levels based on whether its spin is aligned or anti-aligned with the nuclear spin.When hit with microwave radiation at the exact frequency of 9.192.631.770 Hz (cycles per second), the atoms transition between the lower state to the higher state. That gives us a way to tune the microwave radiation precisely and we can tune other light frequencies against that."Med andre ord så tæller uret 9 192 631 770 cycles/flips til at definere et sekund. Det giver en nøjagtihed på ~ 10^(-16). Vi er altså ude på det 16 decimal i vores nøjagtighed af sekundet.Dette er SI (International System of Units) definitionen af et sekund. I dag er international atomtid TAI (Temps Atomique International) givet ved middelvisningen af omkring 400 cæsiumure, der står på 50 nationale laboratorier rundt omkring i verden.Der er planer om at lave en ny SI definition af sekundet i 2030, hvor man vil bruge et andet atom der giver en bedre nøjagtighed. Det er der brug for. I dag i laboratorier måler man tid med en nøjagtighed på 18-20 decimaler, og så er det mærkeligt at sekundet er dårligere defineret. Det er her i 2026 at man vil beslutte sig for hvilket atom man så vil bruge. Det skal helst være et atom der har finstruktur hvor lyset skal have mange svingninger per sekund. En kandidat er 87^Sr som har 429000*10^9 svingninger per sekund. (Cs er 9GHz og Sr er 429 THz). En anden kandidat er Thorium: https://www.sciencealert.com/timekeeping-is-on-the-verge-of-a-giant-leap-in-accuracy-heres-whyMan bruger lasere til disse atom ure. Elerktroner er for store og klodsede til det. En nøjagtighed på 10^(-18) betyder at to urer der blev synkroniseret omkring 'the Big Bang' vil i dag kun være 1 sekund fra hinanden.Hver gang nøjagtigheden er blevet bedre, er der opstået nye anvendelser, som vi ikke anede, vi havde brug for.Rum - TidUniverset som helhed har en universel tid, som skrider fremad, efterhånden som rummet udvider sig, men der findes også et andet tidsbegreb, nemlig den lokale tid.Tiden løber ikke med samme samme hastighed alle steder. Du vil ikke selv mærke / måle det. Dit ur ser for dig altid ud til at gå rigtigt. Så uanset hvor i universet du sidder med dit Cs atom så giver den dig en tidsmåling som er korrekt (for dig).Der er 2 effekter:1) I et tyngdefelt: (gravitational time dilation)Den ene effekt af det her er når der er tyngdekraft. Når du er i tyngdefelt, er du er et sted hvor rummet er blevet bukket. Så løber tiden langsommere, end hvis du står et sted, hvor der ikke er blevet bukket. Altså, når jeg prøver at forestille mig det her, så lukker jeg øjnene og laver et billede i mit hoved. Jeg forestiller mig et stort netværk af af linjer. Nogen der går den ene vej og nogen der går på tværs, altså vinkelret på de første linier.Det er sådan et helt fint og ensartet net. Der er lige langt mellem hvert eneste krydspunkt. Sådan ser jeg nettet hele vejen ud til alle sider rundt om mig og hele vejen opad, fordi det faktisk ikke bare er et stykke papir. Det er faktisk et 3D objekt der går hele vejen op og ned også. Hele rummet er pænt og flot, fordi der er lige langt i mellem hvert eneste krydspunkt over det hele. Nu tager jeg og putter en masse ind et sted, og det vrider mine bitte små målestokke i mit fine spin. Nu er der ikke længere lige langt mellem krydspunkterne. Der er blevet hevet i det og nu er der længere imellem knudepunkterne.Mit fine net er ikke kun rum, det er også tid og min tid løber en bestemt afstand imellem 2 knudepunkter. Nu hvor mit net er blever forvrænget af massen er tiden også blevet forvrænget. Man kan sige at et sekund er længden mellem 2 knuder. For at gøre noget abstrakt og usynligt håndgribeligt. Tiden er en fysisk størrelse, og den hører sammen med rumtiden. Og min masse har ødelagt mit flotte fine netværk. Så er du der ikke lige langt imellem knuderne. Hvor massen har hevet i mit net og der er blevet længere imellem knuderne går tiden også langsommere. Du opdager det ikke, for dig er det normalt. Dig og dit Cs atom synes alt ser normalt ud. Men jeg kigger udefra på dig, og det ligner at du bevæger dig i slow motion.En samling masse, som fx. Jorden bukker altså rum-tiden og skaber hvad vi normalt kalder et tyngdefelt. I et tyngdefelt går tiden langsommere. Det vil sige at på jorden går tiden langsommere i en dal end på en bjergtinde.2) Når man bevæger sig går ens ur også langsommere: (Relativistic time dilation)Tiden går også langsommere når man bevæger sig. Især tæt på lysets hastighed ser man en stor forskel.Når ens tid går langsommere er det ikke noget man kan mærke. Det er fordi set indefra løber tiden altid lige hurtigt. Det er først når vi sammenligner vores ure at man kan se at tiden ikke løb lige hurtigt over det hele.GPS-systemer er baseret på satellitter, der suser rundt om Jorden med høj fart. De bestemmer din position ud fra tidsmålinger med atomure i fire satellitter 20.200 km over jordoverfladen.Tiden går langsommere for disse satellitter, end den gør for menneskene på Jorden. Det har man måttet kompensere for. GPS-systemet har derfor en indbygget relativistisk korrektion, så man undgår fejlmålinger.Uden korrektion ville positionsmålingerne efter bare én dag skyde omkring 10 kilometer forkert.Videnskab.dk har flere artikler om tid. Her er en af dem:https://videnskab.dk/naturvidenskab/tiden-gaar-eller-goer-denAt Rejse i tidenMan kan udnytte den relativistiske tids-udviddelse til at lave Tidsrejser (kun fremad):Man kan rejse frem i tiden, ved at rejse i et rumskib tæt på lysets hastighed og dermed sænke tidens hastighed for en selv. Når man kommer tilbage til Jorden er der gået mange flere år end man selv har oplevet i sit rumskib. Man har så rejst frem i tiden. Men der er ikke nogen måde at rejse tilbage i tiden på.Er tidsrejser mulige?Det er stadigvæk op til diskussion om tidsrejser er muligt. De fysiske love der beskriver vores verden giver ikke et endegyldigt svar.Fysikken beskriver virkeligheden, og med de her fysiske love kan man forudsige hvad der sker. Det er fordi naturen følger nogle love. Men de her love er ikke nogen der definerer hvad virkeligheden er. De beskriver virkeligheden, og de beskriver virkeligheden inden for den afgrænsning de kan. Det er matematiske formler, som beskriver din virkelighed. I disse matematiske formler, er der overhovedet ingenting, der siger, at man ikke må rejse tiden. Man kommer lidt i problemer fordi man skal bruge negativ energi som er noget der måske ikke eksisterer. Man kan godt komme til at misforstå dette, fordi de er så gode til at beskrive vores virkelighed. Så kan man godt komme til at tro at man kan rejse tiden fordi at lovene ikke modsiger det. Det er ikke nødvendigvis rigtigt. Når man har et sæt love, så skal man sætte afgrænsningsbetingelser (boundery conditions), og der mangler man egentlig bare at skrive: Gælder for t> 0. Det er der ingen der har gjort. Det er fordi at vi aldrig nogensinde er kommet derud, hvor at vi har udfordret. Vi har ikke rejst til tiden. (Altså ud over den naturlige fremad).Lovene beskriver virkeligheden, som vi kender den. Og det kan jo meget godt lige pludselig være at man finder ud af et eller andet. Det sker jo indenfor videnskaben. Du har brug for noget negativ energi og du har brug for altså alle mulige ting som vi ikke engang ved om eksisterer for at kunne gøre det. Men så ville man kunne. Hvis nu at vi går tilbage til det store net med knudepunkter. Så har man en ide om at man ved hjælp af stor masse (altså sorte huller) kan fordreje det hele og få det til at så altså lave et langt overflødighedshorn. Hornets spids skal så ramme ned hvor at det det også starter. På den måde kan man lave en krumning i tid, som kunne bruges til tidsrejser. Alt sammen stadigvæk fantasier.Man skal rejse både i Tid og i Rum, ellers er Jorden et andet sted.Tidsrejse paradokserBedstefar paradokset: hvis man kommer tilbage og møder sin bedstefar og slår ham ihjel. Hvad sker der så med en selv? -fordi du levede jo aldrig, så derfor så kunne du ikke rejse tilbage i tiden.Bootstrap Paradox (Ontological Paradox): An object or piece of information is sent back in time, becoming the cause of itself. For example, a time traveler gives Shakespeare a copy of his own plays. The question arises: who actually wrote the plays?Predestination Paradox (Closed Loop): A traveler goes back in time to prevent an event, but their actions in the past are actually what cause that event to happen in the first place.The "Writer" Paradox: A traveler brings a book back in time and gives it to the author before it is written. The book exists in an endless loop with no original author.Hitler Paradox: A common variant of the Grandfather Paradox where a traveler goes back to kill a historical figure like Hitler, but in doing so, eliminates the reason for their own future mission, creating a contradictionOfte er løsningen af disse paradokser at der er parallel universer, og at man derfor ikke forhindrede sin egen fødsel, men fødsel af en variant af en selv i et paralel univers.Hvis Vi skulle bygge en tidsmaskine:En tidsrejsemaskine er nok ikke en æske du sætter dig ind i. Det er nok heller ikke et rumskib der sætter dig ind i. Derimod er det nok mere som at lave et Anker i rumtiden og lave halvdelen af en bro.Så skal den 2. Halvdel laves fra fremtiden af.Man kan så ikke rejse længere tilbage i tiden end da broen blev bygget fra nutidens side af. Og man kan ikke rejse længere frem i tiden end til der hvor den anden ende af broen er blevet bygget.Lad os sige at vi laver broen nu. Vi har nu fundet det her mærkelige materiale vi skal bruge. Sådan noget negativ energi og noget alt muligt eksotisk, som vi har været ude på den anden kant af universet. Og så laver vi simpelthen en bro (måske er port et bedre billede) Vi åbner en port i rummet, og den ene halvdel har vi lavet. Der er åbent hele vejen igennem, men den anden halvdel er lavet fra fremtidens side af. Så kan man så kun rejse imellem de 2 tidspunkter.Altså du kan ikke så pludselig sige: "Nu vil jeg gerne rejse længere tilbage." Jamen, det kan du ikke, fordi der var broen endnu ikke lavet.En ny og anderledes måde at kigge på Tid:A physicist has proposed a mind-bending new idea: what if time, not space, is the true foundation of our universe—and not just one direction of time, but three? According to Gunther Kletetschka from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, time may have three dimensions, while space could simply be a byproduct. Instead of the classic four-dimensional spacetime we've long accepted, this theory envisions reality built on a six-dimensional fabric: three time dimensions and three space dimensions.Think of it like a painting: traditional physics says space is the canvas and time flows across it. Kletetschka flips that—time is the canvas, and space is just the paint. His work builds on previous theories that explored three-dimensional time but were mostly theoretical. His version, however, claims to make real-world predictions, including accurately calculating the masses of known particles like electrons and quarks.Three-dimensional time means there could be other “directions” of time—like stepping sideways into a different outcome of the same day, rather than just moving forward. But don't worry: Kletetschka's model still respects cause and effect. He believes this idea could even help scientists finally unify quantum mechanics and gravity into a long-sought “theory of everything.”While intriguing, it's worth noting that this theory hasn't yet been widely accepted. It was published in a lower-profile journal and hasn't undergone rigorous peer validation. But if it holds up, it could completely reshape how we think about the universe—and ourselves.Three-Dimensional Time: A Mathematical Framework for Fundamental PhysicsReports in Advances of Physical Sciences 2025 09 10.1142/S2424942425500045https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202507.0410/v1Time Crystals:Time crystals are similar to regular crystals in that they are based on structures of atoms that repeat. Rather than repeating across three dimensions of space, these ones change in a set pattern over time. Så en Tids-Krystal står of skifter mellem 2 forskellige tilstande.Først forudsagt at de skulle eksistere i 2012. Først opdaget i 2016.Og nu har man lavet en, som er så stor at man kan se den.https://www.sciencealert.com/world-first-physicists-created-a-time-crystal-that-we-can-actually-seehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z4dY6qVrxoSubjektive opfattelse af tid:Tid kan føles som om den går hurtigt og langsomt.References:https://www.sciencealert.com/timehttps://videnskab.dk/naturvidenskab/hvad-er-tid/Ubegribeligt: Podcast DR .

Experimental thorium power reactors date back to at least the 1960s. No new reactor technology is required to use thorium. Existing well proven reactor designs which have been in use for decades can use thorium as fuel. The common light water reactor designs that popular in some countries however are not well suited to using thorium. Initial interest in thorium was mainly driven by a perception that uranium would be in short supply in future, and slow neutron thorium reactors were cheaper and simpler than fast neutron uranium reactors. However, huge new high grade supplies of uranium were found in a number of countries, causing uranium prices to fall and reducing interest in finding alternatives. While some R&D continues on thorium fuel in a number of countries, the mainstream of development continues to be on uranium based fuel. Some countries with abundant thorium reserves though maintain a major interest in thorium, with India being the prime example. In the next episode we will describe small modular reactors.

Suddenly, nuclear energy has become the belle of the ball when it comes to future electrical production expectations.After decades of demonization, this energy-dense, cost-effective, always-on solution -- statistically proven to be the safest in the world in terms of lives lost -- is now looked at as the future of green energy and a key component to winning the AI race in the long term.It also offers the promise of even cheaper, safer and more distributed energy as new technical solutions are being released around the world -- including small modular reactors, molten-salt technologies, and the use of less radioactive fuels like thorium.To help us understand what we can count on in the future from the coming nuclear energy boom -- as well as what we likely can't -- we're fortunate to speak today with Kirk Sorensen, President and Chief Technologist at Flibe Energy, who for decades has been a leading advocate for nuclear reactor innovation and thorium-based solutions.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

Die präzisesten Zeitmesser sind aktuell Atomuhren. Sie geben den Takt der offiziellen Weltzeit an. Doch Forschende arbeiten bereits an einer neuen Generation von Uhren: den Kernuhren.

This week we talk about radioactive waste, neutrons, and burn while breeding cycles.We also discuss dry casks, radioactive decay, and uranium.Recommended Book: Breakneck by Dan WangTranscriptRadioactive waste, often called nuclear waste, typically falls into one of three categories: low-level waste that contains a small amount of radioactivity that will last a very short time—this is stuff like clothes or tools or rags that have been contaminated—intermediate-level waste, which has been contaminated enough that it requires shielding, and high-level waste, which is very radioactive material that creates a bunch of heat because of all the radioactive decay, so it requires both shield and cooling.Some types of radioactive waste, particularly spent fuel of the kind used in nuclear power plants, can be reprocessed, which means separating it into other types of useful products, including another type of mixed nuclear fuel that can be used in lieu of uranium, though generally not economically unless uranium supplies are low. About a third of all spent nuclear fuel has already been reprocessed in some way.About 4% of even the recyclable stuff, though, doesn't have that kind of second-life purpose, and that, combined with the medium- and long-lived waste that is quite dangerous to have just sitting around, has to be stored somehow, shielded and maybe cooled, and in some cases for a very long time: some especially long-lived fission products have half-lives that stretch into the hundreds of thousands or millions of years, which means they will be radioactive deep into the future, many times longer than humans have existed as a species.According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, something like 490,000 metric tons of radioactive spent fuel is currently being stored, on a temporary basis, at hundreds of specialized sites around the world. The majority of this radioactive waste is stored in pools of spent fuel water, cooled in that water somewhere near the nuclear reactors where the waste originated. Other waste has been relocated into what're called dry casks, which are big, barrel-like containers made of several layers of steel, concrete, and other materials, which surround a canister that holds the waste, and the canister is itself surrounded by inert gas. These casks hold and cool waste using natural air convection, so they don't require any kind of external power or water sources, while other solutions, including storage in water, sometimes does—and often the fuel is initially stored in pools, and is then moved to casks for longer-term storage.Most of the radioactive waste produced today comes in the form of spend fuel from nuclear reactors, which are typically small ceramic pellets made of low-enriched uranium oxide. These pellets are stacked on top of each other and encased in metal, and that creates what's called a fuel rod.In the US, alone, about 2,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel is created each year, which is just shy of half an olympic sized swimming pool in terms of volume, and in many countries, the non-reuseable stuff is eventually buried, near the surface for the low- to intermediate-level waste, and deeper for high-level waste—deeper, in this context, meaning something like 200-1000 m, which is about 650-3300 feet, beneath the surface.The goal of such burying is to prevent potential leakage that might impact life on the surface, while also taking advantage of the inherent stability and cooler nature of underground spaces which are chosen for their isolation, natural barriers, and water impermeability, and which are also often reinforced with human-made supports and security, blocking everything off and protecting the surrounding area so nothing will access these spaces far into the future, and so that they won't be broken open by future glaciation or other large-scale impacts, either.What I'd like to talk about today is another potential use and way of dealing with this type of waste, and why a recent, related development in China is being heralded as such a big deal.—An experimental nuclear reactor was built in the Gobi Desert by the Chinese Academy of Sciences Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, and back in 2023 the group achieved its first criticality, got started up, basically, and it has been generating heat through nuclear fission ever since.What that means is that the nuclear reactor did what a nuclear reactor is supposed to do. Most such reactors exist to generate heat, which then creates steam and spins turbines, which generates electricity.What's special about this reactor, though, is that it is a thorium molten salt reactor, which means it uses thorium instead of uranium as a fuel source, and the thorium is processed into uranium as part of the energy-making process, because thorium only contains trace amounts of fissile material, which isn't enough to get a power-generating, nuclear chain reaction going.This reactor was able to successfully perform what's called in-core thorium-to-uranium conversion, which allows the operators to use thorium as fuel, and have that thorium converted into uranium, which is sufficiently fissile to produce nuclear power, inside the core of the reactor. This is an incredibly fiddly process, and requires that the thorium-232 used as fuel absorb a neutron, which turns it into thorium-233. Thorium-233 then decays into protactinium-233, and that, in turn, decays into uranium-233—the fuel that powers the reactor.One innovation here is that this entire process happens inside the reactor, rather than occurring externally, which would require a bunch of supplementary infrastructure to handle fuel fabrication, increasing the amount of space and cost associated with the reactor.Those neutrons required to start the thorium conversion process are provided by small amounts of more fissile material, like enriched uranium-235 or plutonium-239, and the thorium is dissolved in a fluoride salt and becomes a molten mixture that allows it to absorb that necessary neutron, and go through that multi-step decay process, turning into uranium-233. That end-point uranium then releases energy through nuclear fission, and this initiates what's called a burn while breeding cycle, which means it goes on to produce its own neutrons moving forward, which obviates the need for those other, far more fissile materials that were used to start the chain reaction. All of which makes this process a lot more fuel efficient than other options, dramatically reduces the amount of radioactive waste produced, and allows reactors that use it to operate a lot longer without needing to refuel, which also extends a reactor's functional life.On that last point, many typical nuclear power plants built over the past handful of decades use pressurized water reactors which have to be periodically shut down so operators can replace spent fuel rods. This new method instead allows the fissile materials to continuously circulate, enabling on-the-fly refueling—so no shut-down, no interruption of operations necessary.This method also requires zero water, which could allow these reactors to be built in more and different locations, as conventional nuclear power plants have typically been built near large water sources, like oceans, because of their cooling needs.China initiated the program that led to the development of this experimental reactor back in 2011, in part because it has vast thorium reserves it wanted to tap in its pursuit of energy independence, and in part because this approach to nuclear energy should, in theory at least, allow plant operators to use existing, spent fuel rods as part of its process, which could be very economically interesting, as they could use the waste from their existing plants to help fuel these new plants, but also take such waste off other governments' hands, maybe even be paid for it, because those other governments would then no longer need to store the stuff, and China could use it as cheap fuel; win win.Thinking further along, though, maybe the real killer application of this technology is that it allows for the dispersion of nuclear energy without the risk of nuclear weapons proliferation. The plants are smaller, they have a passive safety system that disallows the sorts of disasters that we saw in Chernobyl and Three-Mile Island—that sort of thing just can't happen with this setup—and the fissile materials, aside from those starter materials used to get the initial cycle going, can't be used to make nuclear weapons.Right now, there's a fair amount of uranium on the market, but just like oil, that availability is cyclical and controlled by relatively few governments. In the future, that resource could become more scarce, and this reactor setup may become even more valuable as a result, because thorium is a lot cheaper and more abundant, and it's less tightly controlled because it's useless from a nuclear weapons standpoint.This is only the very first step on the way toward a potentially thorium-reactor dominated nuclear power industry, and the conversion rate on this experimental model was meager.That said, it is a big step in the right direction, and a solid proof-of-concept, showing that this type of reactor has promise and would probably work scaled-up, as well, and that means the 100MW demonstration reactor China is also building in the Gobi, hoping to prove the concept's full value by 2035, stands a pretty decent chance of having a good showing.Show Noteshttps://www.deepisolation.com/about-nuclear-waste/where-is-nuclear-waste-nowhttps://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/5-fast-facts-about-spent-nuclear-fuelhttps://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/3-advanced-reactor-systems-watch-2030https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fuel-cycle/nuclear-waste/radioactive-wastes-myths-and-realitieshttps://www.visualcapitalist.com/visualizing-all-the-nuclear-waste-in-the-world/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level_radioactive_waste_managementhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_wastehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reprocessinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_cask_storagehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_geological_repositoryhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/er.3854https://archive.is/DQpXMhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium-based_nuclear_powerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium_fuel_cycle This is a public episode.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Justin Huhn to the show. Justin Huhn is Founder & Publisher of Uranium Insider Pro. In this comprehensive discussion, Huhn provides an in-depth analysis of the current uranium market, highlighting its unique supply and demand dynamics. The uranium market is currently experiencing a significant bull run, with demand projections showing substantial growth. The World Nuclear Association’s 2025 reference scenario indicates uranium demand could be 50% higher by 2040 compared to 2019. Key demand drivers include electricity growth, clean energy mandates, and energy security concerns, with nuclear energy capacity projected to grow at approximately 4% annually. On the supply side, the market faces critical challenges. Major producers like Kazatomprom are struggling to maintain production levels, with most existing mines experiencing declining output. Huhn emphasizes that the industry needs substantially higher prices – potentially over $100 per pound in the term market – to incentivize new project development. The market’s structure is characterized by limited supply and rising prices, with trading volumes declining. Utilities remain cautious, often underestimating future price trajectories. Potential secondary demand drivers include financialization, strategic sovereign stockpiling, and utility inventory restocking. Huhn is bullish on uranium’s long-term prospects, suggesting the market is still in early to mid-stages of its bull cycle. He recommends investors diversify their approach, potentially holding physical uranium through vehicles like Yellow Cake or Sprott Physical Uranium Trust, and maintaining a diversified portfolio of mining stocks. Regarding potential disruptors, Huhn is optimistic about thorium’s long-term potential but doesn’t see it impacting the current uranium cycle. He’s also measured about small modular reactors, believing the focus should remain on building large, proven nuclear reactor designs. For investors interested in the sector, Huhn suggests carefully selecting companies with responsible management, strong capital positioning, and potential for future cash flow generation.

Two sophisticated ransomware groups, Akira and Lynx, are increasingly targeting managed service providers (MSPs) and small businesses by exploiting stolen credentials and vulnerabilities. Together, they have compromised over 365 organizations, with Akira targeting major firms like Hitachi Vantara and Lynx focusing on critical infrastructure, including a CBS affiliate in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Both groups utilize double extortion tactics, combining file encryption with data theft to pressure victims into paying ransoms. This shift in tactics highlights the evolving threat landscape for MSPs and small businesses.In response to the growing cybersecurity threats, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has released Thorium, an open-source platform designed for malware and forensic analysis. Thorium can automate tasks and process over 10 million files per hour, empowering IT professionals without in-house malware analysis capabilities to conduct effective preliminary analyses. This tool aims to enhance cybersecurity operations and better manage risks associated with complex malware threats.Additionally, SonicWall has issued a warning to its customers to disable SSL Virtual Private Network (VPN) services due to active ransomware attacks targeting its systems. Meanwhile, Google's AI-powered bug hunter, Big Sleep, has identified 20 security vulnerabilities in popular open-source software, raising concerns about the reliability of AI-generated bug reports. A newly discovered prompt injection vulnerability in Google's Gemini AI chatbot poses serious security risks, enabling attackers to craft convincing phishing campaigns without relying on links or attachments.The podcast also discusses the alarming rise in cybersecurity incidents, particularly social engineering attacks, which have tripled in the first half of 2025. A report from Level Blue indicates that social engineering now accounts for 39% of initial access incidents, with fake CAPTCHA schemes rising dramatically. Furthermore, the report highlights the risks associated with unauthorized AI tool usage, revealing that 97% of organizations lack adequate access controls, exposing sensitive data to potential threats. This underscores the need for organizations to strengthen their defenses and educate users on emerging threats. Four things to know today00:00 Attackers Up Their Game: Ransomware Hits MSPs, SonicWall Vulnerable, and Google's AI Found Exploitable05:53 Social Engineering Surges as Shadow AI Breaches Drive Up Cyber Costs and Risk Exposure08:35 Neglected Tech, Rising Risk: Email and Printers Still Expose Businesses to Modern Threats11:04 From Ransomware to Retirements: Vendor Shifts Reveal Risks and Realignment in the IT Channel This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship https://getflexpoint.com/msp-radio/ Tell us about a newsletter! https://bit.ly/biztechnewsletter  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Thorium can power long-term growth nuclear generation Nuclear energy has received a lot of investor focus, especially following the President's recent executive orders and numerous agreements to supply nuclear power to data centers. But while adding capacity to existing plants isn't a major challenge, adding new US plants is more difficult. Jess Gehin from the Idaho National Lab and BofA Global Research's US Utility analyst Ross Fowler join to discuss what may lie ahead. Jess covers how the recent Executive Orders could accelerate the deployment of nuclear and how they've already stimulated activity. Jess also discusses HALEU, a more enriched variety of uranium used in some of the small modular nuclear reactors as well as Thorium, a reactor fuel that was studied in the 1960s and which has seen a resurgence of interest. While Thorium could eventually provide the US a domestically sourced nuclear fuel that enables longer term growth in nuclear generation, Jess believes uranium will be the fuel that continues to dominate for the foreseeable future.   You may also enjoy listening to the Merrill Perspectives podcast, featuring conversations on the big stories, news and trends affecting your everyday financial life.   "Bank of America" and “BofA Securities” are the marketing names for the global banking businesses and global markets businesses (which includes BofA Global Research) of Bank of America Corporation.

With increasing political uncertainties, the risk of nuclear war has also risen. To highlight this heightened danger and urge greater caution, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has moved the Doomsday Clock forward by one second, bringing us just 89 seconds away from catastrophe! But what does this really mean? We spoke with Dr. Manpreet Sethi, Distinguished Fellow at the Centre for Air Power Studies and an expert on nuclear deterrence, to gain a deeper understanding of this. Tune in to Puliyabaazi for an in-depth discussion on this critical issue.We discuss:* Will the world move towards more nuclear weapons?* Can NPT remain effective in today's world order?* Types of Nuclear Deterrence Strategies. MAD and NUTS.* Nuclear Arms Race* Doom's Day Clock* Is it time for Global No First Use?* India and China's Vishwaguru stance* Nuclear restraint mechanisms* Is a Nuclear Weapons Free World possible?* Towards Nuclear Energy* What about research on Thorium?Read more:Nuclearly Put | Articles by Dr. Manpreet SethiNuclear Strategy: India's March Towards Credible Deterrence | Book by Dr. SethiDoomsday ClockPlease note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.Related Puliyabaazi:भारत की ऊर्जा - कोयले से परमाणु तक.
