I didn't think it would be. It wasn't to put you on the spot. It was just something....Thorium is an ingredient in uranium 233, rather than uranium 235. It's supposed to be much more plentiful than the fuel we're using currently. It's supposed to be safer, only if used in CANDU reactors—which has economic implications for Canada, obviously in terms of this industry.
