Thorium: Its Isotopes, Reaction Rates, and Fuel Creation Methods
About this ebook
Beginning with the discovery and natural occurrence of Thorium, the book covers its isotopic properties, neutron behavior, decay chains, and conversion into Uranium-233. Readers are guided through advanced topics such as fuel cycle kinetics, reactor burnup, fabrication techniques, and integration into Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and hybrid systems. From molten salt technologies to MOX fuels and energy transfer modeling, the book offers a clear path from atomic-level theory to full-scale energy applications.
This work is co-authored by three leaders at the intersection of nuclear physics, engineering, and energy systems infrastructure. Drawing from decades of combined expertise, the authors provide a rare and comprehensive perspective that unifies nuclear science, material science, cybersecurity, and telecommunications into one cohesive vision for a sustainable nuclear future.
Whether you're an advanced student, reactor engineer, energy researcher, or policymaker, this book delivers the insights, equations, and strategies needed to advance the future of clean nuclear power.
