    Did you use the radio analogy to say that Uranium reactors will still be used? Sure they probably won't pull down existing ones but why would you build a Uranium based reactor when it has massive disadvantages over a Thorium based LFTR? It just wouldn't make sense and only corruption from vested Uranium interests could keep them being built IMO

    Arafura - they are the only ones i know of that have deliberately recorded a thorium resource and expressed intent to mine refine and store it.

    They are currently 20c per share - I was forced to sell at 26c after buying at 36c - money troubles

    I would consider buying a small amount below 20c and just write it off - just in case

    I was thinking more along the reactor tech side... if it is that common and so little used I cannot see the use in investing in it as a resourse... but as a technology! Well that I could be into

    To get thorium reactors up and going it would take about 5-6 billion, to put that into perspective Australian wasted over 6 billion on useless desal plants. So you could have the electricity and the desal for under what the Australian government payed for the desal FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU
