This presentation will introduce the potential of a Thorium Reactor. It will include a brief history of nuclear chemistry, some fundamentals of the science behind it and a description of how power is generated in a nuclear reactor. However, its main focus will be on examining the feasibility and potential of a Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR), the advantages of implementing it and what problems are associated with its use.
