The Good Reactor by Frankie Fenton and Des Kelleher have produced an independent video about thorium and the astounding potential of this alternative nuclear fuel to generate green, sustainable energy. Up until the mid 1970s, research into thorium - a silvery-white metal - as an energy source in Molten Salt Reactors, was carried out by the US government. The initiative was shelved however, in favour of uranium due in part to the politics of the Cold War and uranium potential for weaponization. Today, there is a growing body of scientists and environmentalists seeking to resurrect this technology, believing that it is the solution that the world has been waiting for and a way to generate clean, safe, green energy.
