>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 12 13:02:32 2011 No.3727468 This seems too good to be true. How far away are we? Is this similar to our struggle for economic fusion power?

Fairly. Certainly a fuckton more common that fissionable Uranium. Or Uranium in general. It would be a massive step up.

It probably is. A LOT of people have claimed to have the perfect Thorium reactors for ages now, and though certainly public ignorance in assuming nuclear tech is always Hiroshima waiting to happen, there are a number of European countries which use quite a lot of nuclear power (particularly France) who would have been on this shit like white on rice if it were as viable as they had claimed.
