Stage III – Self Sustaining Cycle Thorium deposits of India • Thorium is a chemical element with symbol Th and atomic number 90. • Thorium is found in small amounts in most rocks and soils.
الحصول على السعرSignificant Thorium deposits exist in the United States, Brazil, India, and Australia; these countries all have estimates of Thorium resources of greater than 600 kt. [1] Additionally, all the Thorium that is mined can be used in a reactor, in comparison to less than 1% of natural Uranium that may be used. [2]
الحصول على السعرThorium is an extremely important element for India, it can help to meet the ever growing energy requirements of the nation. Thorium by itself is not a fissile material (a material that can sustain fission reaction in nuclear reactors to produce energy). It is a fertile material that can transmute into fissile material Uranium (U233).

الحصول على السعرIf India can learn to master the molten salt reactor technology as well, it could become the most efficient thorium reactor in India's portfolio and make the country's thorium resources last even longer. China was the first country to announce a program aiming at thorium fuelled molten salt reactors in the beginning of 2011.
الحصول على السعرHomi Bhabha conceived of the threestage nuclear programme as a way to develop nuclear energy by working around India's limited uranium resources. Thorium itself is not a fissile material, and thus cannot undergo fission to produce energy. Instead, it must be transmuted to uranium233 in a reactor fueled by other fissile materials. The first two stages, natural uraniumfueled heavy water ...

الحصول على السعر02/07/2017 · India's fast breeder reactor is even more unique as within it the country also deploys special rods of thorium which when they get exposed to or irradiated by fast neutrons they generate U233 and a normally benign thorium turns into a valuable atomic material.
الحصول على السعرThe fertile thorium232 has to be converted into uranium233 first for use in a nuclear reactor. Considering the country's vast thorium resources, the longterm nuclear energy policy of India has been focused on utilization of thorium early on. A threestage nuclear power program was drafted already in .
