Right out of High School I took a job at a large Hospital and Research Laboratories. I handled all of the Isotopes for our Lab and also its disposal. We had a special room for all of the many Labs Radioactive waste that we stuffed everything from dead animals to tons of glassware into 55 gallon drums and monthly an old truck would show up and haul away the waste. I must have handled a lot of Radioactive Isotopes but it took over fifty years to develop the Cancers so often associated with Radiation exposure. Had I known then…too late.
@@c-hawkins4358 It did kinda suck because there was no safety program in place. If one of the hundreds of laboratory personnel dropped a highly radioactive pipette that broke and splattered its contents every which way and it was my job to clean up the mess.

@@elizabethnisotis334 Thank you for your concern. If they knew about the long term damage we were receiving they did not say. In recollection I don’t think anyone thought about it due to what they called low level Radiation. At the time, around 1970, they weren’t up on the long term effects of Gamma radiation but they do now. Everyone I worked with way back when is now dead. Including many of my closest friends. This Country has come a long way from such ignorance and hopefully stays that way. Again, my regards for your thoughts and a prayer is so kind. Thanks, Pg.
America is very poluted from many irresponsible businesses. The Americans don't wake up until the damage is done. The same applies to unhealthy food, medicines etc. In Europe we first test and then proceed to certification.
Y'all got plenty of waste dumps in Europe. The U.S. is STILL Paying to clean up Soviet weapons caches with smallpox and pressure sensitive explosives inside.
majority of the time, it was businesses working with the government to steamroll the public into doing things. Every contamination site, dumping ground for major industries was approved by county/local/state governments first. surely some officials get paid-off, and others are just going along with false promises of how safe x dumping ground will be.. and bring jobs.. and tax revenue etc- the usual talking points. "Well they hired engineers who said its safe" (because the company forced them to just create fake documents/fake studies/fake numbers). homeowners, and people that nearby these places always fight them, but we always lose.
You know we really don't need them mine anymore. We could actually recycle a lot of ways and in the process clean it up to. They're actually was a nuclear generator made in the 70s that actually not only converted radiation into electricity but used nuclear waste to do it. I'm just a little angry about the bureaucracy involved with energy issues. Where everybody tends to make more money on making the problem bigger instead of solving it.
@@davidbeppler3032Obviously you don't know the amount of water needed to power everything and the devastation done to local wildlife to create these days and the fact you would shrink water access to everything downstream. solar also has huge draw backs
@@GFiGaming Yes, solar has huge drawbacks. Insane amounts of pollution just from the refineries themselves. The cars burn the solar power making even more pollution. Transporting the solar power in huge tankers across oceans is not easy either, and the solar that is used to power the ships is the most polluting solar in history! The only clean energy on this planet is Nuclear.
Nuclear energy will never be embraced when we have oil companies lobbying against it, and the 2nd world continues to keep building faulty reactors that weaken public perception on safe nuclear energy.
I live in a small town in Southern New Mexico where a company Duke Energy put up a big plant and after so many years everybody down south from them had to redrilled their Wells I've had to do it twice and it keeps just taking our water it's messed up that city manager years ago mr strand made the deal and then left us hanging
I live in AZ, and I can confirm that there are LOADS of trucks here with random tanks of 'non potable' liquids inside of them. It's always vague, but you kind of get the general idea that whatever is in those tanks WILL make a person very sick if not kill them.
@meggiemcguire8114 You might want to go back to school, sadly your knowledge in the field of Product Relocation Engineering is exiguous, at best. First off, I want to make one thing perfectly clear, I do NOT in ANY WAY agree with the mining of Uranium, ANY TIME OR ANYWHERE!!! That is not what I am commenting on. I just want to help @meggiemcguire8114, & anyone else that might be curious, to learn something new today. Non Potable Water does not mean Radioactive. Non Potable Water means "Water that is not acceptable for human consumption. It can come from a variety of sources, such as lakes, springs, ground wells, rivers, & groundwater." Look it up. Now when it comes to the transfer of Radioactive Materials (ie. radioactive water, contaminated soil, etc..), it is required, by Federal Law, that the Radioactive Material(s) be transported in a Double-Lined, completely Air Tight Sealed Container. AND that container/trailer is Required to have Visible Placards (with HazMat info) on all 4 sides. ALSO, the driver is Required to be HazMat Certified. ALL of these Rules MUST be met or that truck is not moving an inch. If for any reason it does move, then the fines, to BOTH Driver & Transportation Company, can be upwards in the 5-6 figure range, loss of license for the driver (commercial & non-commercial), AND that company can lose its HazMat certification (means they can NOT transport HazMat anymore). Fun Fact; HazMat means Hazardous Material(s). Another Fun Fact; New paint is considered Hazardous Material & is required to have the above mentioned Placards on the truck/trailer when in transport. If anyone thinks any of this info is incorrect, provide proof. Then you can discuss it with my husband. FYI he just happens to be a full time, gone on the road WAY more than he is home, across the entire lower 48 states, HazMat Certified, 10+ years, Truck Driver. He is where I get my info from, & if I am wrong, then so is he. And he is never wrong or it could be his job, or worse his life. That's not something we're willing to risk. 🙏🙏🙏 Oh & PS We proudly call AZ home too!!!😘😘
I did some volunteer work on a reservation in New Mexico near a uranium mine... Not sure about health effects on the people living there, but one family had a super friendly chihuahua with extra toes and 1 testicle.
Correction: any type of mining causes environmental damage. But without it our civilisation as we know it wouldn't work. One way or another: ores have to be mined somewhere. And stuff deep underground is more or less always way more radioactive than materials on the surface. Radioctive decay is the reason life as we know it can exist on planet earth, without it our planet would have cooled down to solid rock ages ago. Fun fact: burning coal releases radiation as well, and we burn hella lot of it... the cancer caused this way is many times more wide spread than that from uranium use. Yes, people scared of radiation should focus more on coal power than on nuclear. But that would require thinking about it, instead of blind anti nuclear activism.
Here’s an analogy I thought of recently. A little off topic, but still works for the discussion: Look up “most important human inventions”. There’s a lot of lists, however they all basically say the same thing, meaning there is a consensus. You’ll see things like: the wheel, fire, written word. Then, on all those lists usually around 6 or 7th is the internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine has increased human lifespan by up to fifteen years! It has advanced human development almost as much as the wheel or fire. It is THAT important to humans. Now…look at the gulf war, the invasion of Iraq, and all the mess in the Middle East. Those that oppose it complain “it’s just a war for oil and greed”. However… What if we had to fight a war in order to use the wheel??? What if we had to fight a war because some dictator was arbitrarily raising the price on our use of the written word??? What if someone was regulating our use of fire???? Kind of puts things into perspective.
I was thinking the same thing. A little research shows that the 30ppb is the max safe level for consistent drinking water. WATOP has started doing moronic propaganda videos for a while now. The little respect I had for him years ago has turned into disgust. Unsubscribing is the best option
the way we use nuclear energy is quite old and with new standards and the use of new techniques such as those which utilize thorium and lower quality uranium and/or recycled spent nuclear waste etc would allow us to greatly cut down on the environmental impact of nuclear energy generation. We just need policies to update since 50+ years ago.
3 Mile Island went to Hanford! They trucked it all the way across the country! Thank you for the information! I didn't know about Arizona! Catch you in the next one!
Thats mostly correct. What was removed from 3 mile Island went to a storage facility in Idaho, not to Hanford. They are relatively close to each other, but they are separate sites.
When you delve deeper into researching cancer rates across the US, I believe the numbers are being vastly underreported. I myself went through major cancer treatment where I spent a week in a hospital undergoing around the clock chemotherapy. During that time, you see patients come and go, with new faces daily. My follow-up appointments after chemotherapy was radiation treatment which was about 2months of daily targeted radiation therapy which again, I rarely saw the same people twice. For the most part the thing with radiation treatment is that they generally keep all their patients on a tight schedule because there's so many people that need to be treated that you can't afford to miss any appointments. If you ever wonder why or how you got cancer just look at everything around you. The water, the air, the food, the things you wear, the things you use every day are all toxic or have harmful effects on the body and the environment. There's literally a million things that can give you cancer now it's ridiculous!
The leaders and company holders should be required to live closest and drink 1st sips. These are our brothers and sisters and wildlife we are charged with caretaking along with the plant kindom/environment. If you can't engineer it safe, don't do it. Simple.
Sure. If someone comes along and conquerors the land, and takes it for their own…they’re then free to do with it whatever they like. That’s kind of how this world works.

@@n30p47h1c Quite literally, thats how state-sanctioned contest works. If you dont think this to be true, all of white men have to move back to England/Greenland. Everyone else gets the rest of the world. How do you propose to relocate some 150million people? Even if its a step up and a 'good idea' how would you get them there? Mass migration rarely leads to anything except state-sanctioned contest... This whole truth is why we even bother with Police. There are places in this world where the rule of law doesnt exist unless youre willing to use force to back it up, even in the modern world. (Alaska, Mountain ranges found throughout the USA, National Parks even have 3-6hr wait times- by air in some places...Anywhere at sea or ocean...)
News flash, tribes lost the wars thus have no say in what happens to land taken from them. They did the same throughout their history, we are just better at it. Calling them natives is kinda funny, seeing how most of them TOOK the land they have from others roflmao. Guess you only get to be a native if you are not white.
Thanks for covering this. If people knew how toxic mining was, and how much destruction it did, i would like to think there would be a demand for change.....
Ha forgot a story might apply . As the result of 9/11, The federal feeding trough was open to police and fire . Among the items bought were some tiny personal radiation detectors . Officers were assembled at station 9 for training. Each wS given a detector. At the proper part of the training, they switch on their detectors, oops what's that sound, detectors all went into alarm . Nobody had the common sense to ask why, they, must be defective . Duh those dusty railroad tracks were the primary supply lines to and from , National lead ...where nuclear fuel was processed . On those same rail lines food processing , pork and cattle processing and cosmetics . Don't believe it Google the area. Not to worry EPA says the area is clean. But a local hunting club, has some interesting stuffed animals they might let you see.
I live in AZ currently. I had literally NO IDEA of any of this. I’m moving soon due to unrelated reasons. I love AZ. This breaks my heart so much for the Native being exposed and sickened.

Yet another reason to transition to Thorium- based molten salt reactors. 100% of Thorium is fertile and can be used for nuclear reaction, vs. 2% of Uranium. Its radioactivity is in the form of alpha particles (helium nuclei), that can be shielded by a piece of paper.
I've driven in Massachusetts and seen tanker trucks dumping liquids on the highway while driving and the driver ignored us even while using a cb radio to tell them they were spilling there contents and got no reply.
Grand Junction Colorado had a uranium slag issue. The used it in concrete for roads and sidewalks. It took a few years to clean it up. The slag pile is still there just outside of town. Cancer rates are higher there than the rest of the state. This is the real problem with nuclear energy. Not the electric plants and their waste.
Similar too Skinwalker ranch. There's a abandoned an Buried Uranium mine inside the Mesa, an the reason they were told not to dig in several places. Is because waste from the mine is buried there, an its a tad Radioactive.
Remember the use of depleted uranium armour-piercing shells used in Iraq and the effect of inhaling the radioactive dust on the exposed civilian population; today such munition is used in Ukraine and the land will be poisoned for a long time.
All of Thorium can be collected and then fully converted to U-233. In addition the "waste" from a Thorium Molten Salt Reactor only lasts 100's of years rather than 100's of Thousands of years. It turns out that Thorium comes from 2 places: Coal Ash (the waste product from burning coal) and rare earth mines. These rare earth mines have no use for Thorium currently, so they just end up in tailings piles...just waiting to be separated from the dirt and used. No additional mining required. Since Thorium is fully converted to U-233, all of it is used. Uranium mining only provides 0.7% of the fissile U-235 used in US and other nuclear fission reactors. The rest of the Uranium is U-238...which is radioactive, but not fizzile. Another "wonder" of uranium-235 reactors is that the waste is harmful for a very long period of time because the fuel bundles still contain a lot of U-235 that hasn't been used. In addition there's lots of Plutonium 239. Because the process used to gather/transfer the heat from U-235 uses water, rather than molten salt, the less efficient steam turbine is used. Using Thorium/U-233, a molten salt reactor's (MSRs) temperature is so hot that it must use a gas to transfer that heat and a gas turbine must be used to remove the energy from that gas. Gas turbines are way more efficient than steam turbines. Why don't we have Thorium reactors? 1) Environmentalist, social idiots trying to protect us from their fears. 2) Regulation by the NRC which currently under Title 10 will not permit a larger than 1MWth reactor (think really small) using molten salt. 3) Even if the NRC would permit the building of a Thorium MSR, there are thousands of pages of legal documents that must be filled out just to even thing about building a Thorium MSR...talk about over-regulation. On another WATOP, the fresh water problems throughout the world could easily be resolved by using Thorium MSRs by cooling the hot gas using salt or semi-polluted water to cool it and then capture the condensate as fresh, distilled water. This could work in Africa, the US, etc. China, because of Biden being bribed, scientists were shown how to build a Thorium MSR from the US 1st and 2nd Thorium reactors built by both scientists and engineers at Oak Ridge Labs. The lead scientist was Dr. Alan Weinstein and it was finished in 1969. Are US politicians stupid or what?
Might I ask what you're sources were? I'm very curious about this topic and would like to use some of the information in this video on an essay I'm writing, so seeing the original sources would be helpful.

Fossils in petroleum is that what fuels our curiosity and why not call it fossil fuel . Oil refining is uranium mining the heavy metals found in crued oil comes before the valcano uranium ore comes after . Fossils found in petroleum are there because the water was pushed out by sand and oil which out weights water five to one .
Anything warmer than absolute zero emits thermal radiation. Human brain activity generates a magnetic field which is radioactive. Even potassium and the tissues in our thyroids emit radiation.
130 PPB isn't going to hurt anyone. The permitted levels aren't the levels at which harm is done, you need to be at thousands of times above the allowed levels for there to be a risk of harm.
Australia just legislated the first uranium dump policy. America does not have one and waiting for American ships to dump the crap here. Please don’t let it be sent offshore.
Where is the explanation of what's on the thumbnail??? I am so tired of being clickbaited by a picture only to find out it never shows up in the video or story....next...
The mine south of the Grand Canyon was there back in the 80's but had not been developed. The power line in to the place had steel wrapped around the poles because they were afraid of Earth First or some people like that.
While Nuclear energy has drawbacks it is still one of the cheapest and cleanest options we can rely on for our civilization to prosper and thrive when compared to the cost of mining resources required for solar panels or fossil fuels, for the energy created.
It is too bad nuclear energy got such a bad rap from the coal lobbyists.. you'd never get it accepted even tho it is the best solution to any energy needs.
The sad thing is that nuclear energy COULD provide us with abundant energy that could be more green than other sources currently used. Nuclear start up is expensive and requires much money to do cleanly. Companies cutting corners makes it dirty. Thus, that leads to regulations that make it more expensive (with good reason) and makes it less practical. It's like a snake eating itself.
I always love when talking about nuclear energy, and people are like, "technology is better now, it's 💯 safe. We've even figured out how to deal with the waste." I know immediately that I'm talking to someone that doesn't know, anything.
All our energy generating methods cause long-term issues. It's when you compare cost-per-energy that we find nuclear to be the cheapest and cleanest. However a big issue is that we have not upgraded our nuclear generators since over 50 years ago and we currently have technological advancements in nuclear which would allow us to use our own nuclear waste we already have and we could greatly reduce or almost completely stop mining uranium all together. The issue is getting policies to upgrade from those 50+ year old systems...
I had always thought the waste problem was under control but I guess not, how disgusting, and you say oil is the problem? I would rather have a Oil problem than a Uranium problem, but that's just me?
I think that the evolution of human beings as we are today was a tragic mistake & Mother Earth deeply regrets the accident(s) she made that led to our creation.
no, the radiation it makes can penetrate three feet of concrete. Thorium reactors produce uranium 232 in small quantities, but enough that humans can not work with the waste.
I don't disagree with your take on the risks. However, I ask a question. What else are we going to do other than take that risk? We NEED the uranium for power plants. POWER PLANTS. We can not produce enough solar and wind energy. Hydroelectric dams are also devasting to the surrounding ecosystem. Nuclear Power Plants produce A LOT of energy at much less pollution and damage. Note I said "less", not zero. So what are we supposed to do? Just not have that source of power? Rely more on coal power plants? Have everyone just ride bikes to charge their own home generators? I mean, what else are we supposed to do? So I hear a lot of, "what if" in this video regarding the risks, but no definite, "this is GOING to leak and this IS going to destroy." Just a lot of IF this leaks, IF this breaks down....So.....Fear will prevent progress every time. And no, for my part, I don't ask due to a sense of not caring or greed. I ask, because even though these "what if" scenarios are questions that NEED to be looked at, I ask again, What else are we going to do other than take the risk and do our best to mitigate them?
Thank you for covering this, every time I tell people they act like they dont hear me or just stop talking. My people need help

Transporting the solar power in huge tankers across oceans is not easy either, and the solar that is used to power the ships is the most polluting solar in history! The only clean energy on this planet is Nuclear.
Nuclear energy will never be embraced when we have oil companies lobbying against it, and the 2nd world continues to keep building faulty reactors that weaken public perception on safe nuclear energy.
I live in a small town in Southern New Mexico where a company Duke Energy put up a big plant and after so many years everybody down south from them had to redrilled their Wells I've had to do it twice and it keeps just taking our water it's messed up that city manager years ago mr strand made the deal and then left us hanging
The small town is Deming New Mexico

I live in AZ, and I can confirm that there are LOADS of trucks here with random tanks of 'non potable' liquids inside of them. It's always vague, but you kind of get the general idea that whatever is in those tanks WILL make a person very sick if not kill them.
@meggiemcguire8114 You might want to go back to school, sadly your knowledge in the field of Product Relocation Engineering is exiguous, at best.
First off, I want to make one thing perfectly clear, I do NOT in ANY WAY agree with the mining of Uranium, ANY TIME OR ANYWHERE!!! That is not what I am commenting on.
I just want to help @meggiemcguire8114, & anyone else that might be curious, to learn something new today.
Non Potable Water does not mean Radioactive. Non Potable Water means "Water that is not acceptable for human consumption. It can come from a variety of sources, such as lakes, springs, ground wells, rivers, & groundwater." Look it up.
Now when it comes to the transfer of Radioactive Materials (ie. radioactive water, contaminated soil, etc..), it is required, by Federal Law, that the Radioactive Material(s) be transported in a Double-Lined, completely Air Tight Sealed Container. AND that container/trailer is Required to have Visible Placards (with HazMat info) on all 4 sides. ALSO, the driver is Required to be HazMat Certified. ALL of these Rules MUST be met or that truck is not moving an inch.
If for any reason it does move, then the fines, to BOTH Driver & Transportation Company, can be upwards in the 5-6 figure range, loss of license for the driver (commercial & non-commercial), AND that company can lose its HazMat certification (means they can NOT transport HazMat anymore).
Fun Fact; HazMat means Hazardous Material(s). Another Fun Fact; New paint is considered Hazardous Material & is required to have the above mentioned Placards on the truck/trailer when in transport.
If anyone thinks any of this info is incorrect, provide proof. Then you can discuss it with my husband. FYI he just happens to be a full time, gone on the road WAY more than he is home, across the entire lower 48 states, HazMat Certified, 10+ years, Truck Driver. He is where I get my info from, & if I am wrong, then so is he. And he is never wrong or it could be his job, or worse his life. That's not something we're willing to risk. 🙏🙏🙏
Oh & PS We proudly call AZ home too!!!😘😘
F the Government. What crap.

Exactly, and it's always been this way.
I did some volunteer work on a reservation in New Mexico near a uranium mine... Not sure about health effects on the people living there, but one family had a super friendly chihuahua with extra toes and 1 testicle.
families here are still dealing with issues from when they dropped/tested the nukes in New Mexico.
Poor dog lost 1/2 of his love life!!!!!❤
@@Ronald-v5o The lord giveth and the lord taketh away...
That’s just a rez dog no radioactivity 😂 that’s how they come man 😂
Chihuahuas suck. Unless you're the owner. Change my mind.
Correction: any type of mining causes environmental damage. But without it our civilisation as we know it wouldn't work. One way or another: ores have to be mined somewhere.
And stuff deep underground is more or less always way more radioactive than materials on the surface. Radioctive decay is the reason life as we know it can exist on planet earth, without it our planet would have cooled down to solid rock ages ago. Fun fact: burning coal releases radiation as well, and we burn hella lot of it... the cancer caused this way is many times more wide spread than that from uranium use.
Yes, people scared of radiation should focus more on coal power than on nuclear. But that would require thinking about it, instead of blind anti nuclear activism.
Here’s an analogy I thought of recently. A little off topic, but still works for the discussion:
Look up “most important human inventions”. There’s a lot of lists, however they all basically say the same thing, meaning there is a consensus.
You’ll see things like: the wheel, fire, written word.
Then, on all those lists usually around 6 or 7th is the internal combustion engine.
The internal combustion engine has increased human lifespan by up to fifteen years! It has advanced human development almost as much as the wheel or fire.
It is THAT important to humans.
Now…look at the gulf war, the invasion of Iraq, and all the mess in the Middle East.
Those that oppose it complain “it’s just a war for oil and greed”.
However…
What if we had to fight a war in order to use the wheel???
What if we had to fight a war because some dictator was arbitrarily raising the price on our use of the written word???
What if someone was regulating our use of fire????
Kind of puts things into perspective.
I was thinking the same thing. A little research shows that the 30ppb is the max safe level for consistent drinking water. WATOP has started doing moronic propaganda videos for a while now. The little respect I had for him years ago has turned into disgust. Unsubscribing is the best option
the way we use nuclear energy is quite old and with new standards and the use of new techniques such as those which utilize thorium and lower quality uranium and/or recycled spent nuclear waste etc would allow us to greatly cut down on the environmental impact of nuclear energy generation.
We just need policies to update since 50+ years ago.
You're looking at the bigger picture, but scared people care about them now, not about everyone later.
Yep a coal powerplant releases more radiation in a single day than a nuclear powerplant does in an entire year.
This disaster happened in *1979?* Funny how we all heard about Three-Mile Island, but not a peep about this. Thanks, Jimmy Carter!
3 Mile Island went to Hanford! They trucked it all the way across the country! Thank you for the information! I didn't know about Arizona! Catch you in the next one!
Thats mostly correct. What was removed from 3 mile Island went to a storage facility in Idaho, not to Hanford. They are relatively close to each other, but they are separate sites.
Ah, Hanford. The place that's been releasing radioactive steam for decades.
👉🏾This sounds highly disturbing. They just go from one place to another with the contamination. It’s never ending! 😢😢😢
Thats nuclear power for you. Its greener in the short and even mid-term, but it piles up just as hard as fossil fuels.
When you delve deeper into researching cancer rates across the US, I believe the numbers are being vastly underreported. I myself went through major cancer treatment where I spent a week in a hospital undergoing around the clock chemotherapy. During that time, you see patients come and go, with new faces daily. My follow-up appointments after chemotherapy was radiation treatment which was about 2months of daily targeted radiation therapy which again, I rarely saw the same people twice. For the most part the thing with radiation treatment is that they generally keep all their patients on a tight schedule because there's so many people that need to be treated that you can't afford to miss any appointments. If you ever wonder why or how you got cancer just look at everything around you. The water, the air, the food, the things you wear, the things you use every day are all toxic or have harmful effects on the body and the environment. There's literally a million things that can give you cancer now it's ridiculous!

Officers were assembled at station 9 for training. Each wS given a detector. At the proper part of the training, they switch on their detectors, oops what's that sound, detectors all went into alarm . Nobody had the common sense to ask why, they, must be defective . Duh those dusty railroad tracks were the primary supply lines to and from , National lead ...where nuclear fuel was processed . On those same rail lines food processing , pork and cattle processing and cosmetics . Don't believe it Google the area. Not to worry EPA says the area is clean.

Yet another reason to transition to Thorium- based molten salt reactors. 100% of Thorium is fertile and can be used for nuclear reaction, vs. 2% of Uranium. Its radioactivity is in the form of alpha particles (helium nuclei), that can be shielded by a piece of paper.

Grand Junction Colorado had a uranium slag issue. The used it in concrete for roads and sidewalks. It took a few years to clean it up. The slag pile is still there just outside of town. Cancer rates are higher there than the rest of the state. This is the real problem with nuclear energy. Not the electric plants and their waste.
Interesting and informative podcast❗🤔
Consequences ❌
Corporate profits ✅
Similar too Skinwalker ranch. There's a abandoned an Buried Uranium mine inside the Mesa, an the reason they were told not to dig in several places. Is because waste from the mine is buried there, an its a tad Radioactive.
Remember the use of depleted uranium armour-piercing shells used in Iraq and the effect of inhaling the radioactive dust on the exposed civilian population; today such munition is used in Ukraine and the land will be poisoned for a long time.
All of Thorium can be collected and then fully converted to U-233. In addition the "waste" from a Thorium Molten Salt Reactor only lasts 100's of years rather than 100's of Thousands of years. It turns out that Thorium comes from 2 places: Coal Ash (the waste product from burning coal) and rare earth mines. These rare earth mines have no use for Thorium currently, so they just end up in tailings piles...just waiting to be separated from the dirt and used. No additional mining required. Since Thorium is fully converted to U-233, all of it is used. Uranium mining only provides 0.7% of the fissile U-235 used in US and other nuclear fission reactors. The rest of the Uranium is U-238...which is radioactive, but not fizzile. Another "wonder" of uranium-235 reactors is that the waste is harmful for a very long period of time because the fuel bundles still contain a lot of U-235 that hasn't been used. In addition there's lots of Plutonium 239.
Because the process used to gather/transfer the heat from U-235 uses water, rather than molten salt, the less efficient steam turbine is used. Using Thorium/U-233, a molten salt reactor's (MSRs) temperature is so hot that it must use a gas to transfer that heat and a gas turbine must be used to remove the energy from that gas. Gas turbines are way more efficient than steam turbines.
Why don't we have Thorium reactors? 1) Environmentalist, social idiots trying to protect us from their fears. 2) Regulation by the NRC which currently under Title 10 will not permit a larger than 1MWth reactor (think really small) using molten salt. 3) Even if the NRC would permit the building of a Thorium MSR, there are thousands of pages of legal documents that must be filled out just to even thing about building a Thorium MSR...talk about over-regulation.
On another WATOP, the fresh water problems throughout the world could easily be resolved by using Thorium MSRs by cooling the hot gas using salt or semi-polluted water to cool it and then capture the condensate as fresh, distilled water. This could work in Africa, the US, etc.
China, because of Biden being bribed, scientists were shown how to build a Thorium MSR from the US 1st and 2nd Thorium reactors built by both scientists and engineers at Oak Ridge Labs. The lead scientist was Dr. Alan Weinstein and it was finished in 1969. Are US politicians stupid or what?

the us is doing what the russians have done for sentries but well if no one see it they dont know before its too late, like a huge lake in russia have so much radioactive waste that it have made a hole into the walls and now its slowly running out in the baltic and the bering sea :(

“Dig that Uranium”. Three Stooges circa 1950.
Fossils in petroleum is that what fuels our curiosity and why not call it fossil fuel . Oil refining is uranium mining the heavy metals found in crued oil comes before the valcano uranium ore comes after . Fossils found in petroleum are there because the water was pushed out by sand and oil which out weights water five to one .
P.S. Crude oil is leftovers from oxygen production .

While Nuclear energy has drawbacks it is still one of the cheapest and cleanest options we can rely on for our civilization to prosper and thrive when compared to the cost of mining resources required for solar panels or fossil fuels, for the energy created.
It is too bad nuclear energy got such a bad rap from the coal lobbyists.. you'd never get it accepted even tho it is the best solution to any energy needs.
The sad thing is that nuclear energy COULD provide us with abundant energy that could be more green than other sources currently used. Nuclear start up is expensive and requires much money to do cleanly. Companies cutting corners makes it dirty. Thus, that leads to regulations that make it more expensive (with good reason) and makes it less practical. It's like a snake eating itself.
I always love when talking about nuclear energy, and people are like, "technology is better now, it's 💯 safe. We've even figured out how to deal with the waste."
I know immediately that I'm talking to someone that doesn't know, anything.
They talk about how "clean" nuclear energy is. Radiation sullies for the long run.
Nope.
All our energy generating methods cause long-term issues. It's when you compare cost-per-energy that we find nuclear to be the cheapest and cleanest. However a big issue is that we have not upgraded our nuclear generators since over 50 years ago and we currently have technological advancements in nuclear which would allow us to use our own nuclear waste we already have and we could greatly reduce or almost completely stop mining uranium all together.
The issue is getting policies to upgrade from those 50+ year old systems...
Beryllium is bad news, as well. A lot of spots in Utah where it is mined is causing folks to drop like flies.

I had always thought the waste problem was under control but I guess not, how disgusting, and you say oil is the problem? I would rather have a Oil problem than a Uranium problem, but that's just me?
I think that the evolution of human beings as we are today was a tragic mistake & Mother Earth deeply regrets the accident(s) she made that led to our creation.
I wonder where people think we will all go once we destroy this planet
Opening a new mine but not building new reactors?
Thorium is a better way to go.
no, the radiation it makes can penetrate three feet of concrete. Thorium reactors produce uranium 232 in small quantities, but enough that humans can not work with the waste.
I don't disagree with your take on the risks. However, I ask a question. What else are we going to do other than take that risk? We NEED the uranium for power plants. POWER PLANTS. We can not produce enough solar and wind energy. Hydroelectric dams are also devasting to the surrounding ecosystem. Nuclear Power Plants produce A LOT of energy at much less pollution and damage. Note I said "less", not zero. So what are we supposed to do? Just not have that source of power? Rely more on coal power plants? Have everyone just ride bikes to charge their own home generators? I mean, what else are we supposed to do? So I hear a lot of, "what if" in this video regarding the risks, but no definite, "this is GOING to leak and this IS going to destroy." Just a lot of IF this leaks, IF this breaks down....So.....Fear will prevent progress every time. And no, for my part, I don't ask due to a sense of not caring or greed. I ask, because even though these "what if" scenarios are questions that NEED to be looked at, I ask again, What else are we going to do other than take the risk and do our best to mitigate them?
Higgs like:
