The Atomic Show #141 – Thorium and other atomic topics

ByRod Adams

Robert Hargraves, Charles Barton and Rod Adams talk about the Thorium Energy Alliance Conference and other miscellaneous atomic topics.

The conversation ranged from thorium, to uranium supplies, to chemistry versus engineering, to the history of Oak Ridge, to the unreality of energy solutions that require continuous cash transfers from the public to the developer.
