Rocks in some underground mines may also contain thorium in a more concentrated form. After these rocks are mined, thorium is usually concentrated and changed into thorium dioxide or other chemical forms. Thorium-bearing rock that has had most of the thoriumremoved from it is called ‘depleted...
Thorium occurs in the minerals thorite, thorianite, orangite, and yttrocrasite, and in monazite sand. Rocks in some underground mines may also contain thorium in a more concentrated form. After these rocks are mined, thorium is usually concentrated and changed into thorium dioxide or other ...
@BillW: India is focused on conventional solid-fuel reactors. According to a respondent here (Jagdish), they are making steady progress, and are reluctant to adopt a technology abandoned by the U.S. They are actually trying to sell a partially-thorium-powered CANDU-style reactor ...

Imagine the benefits for China, which drives is collosal steel industry -- 40pc of the world's total -- with high-polluting coking coal, much of it shipped from distant mines in lorries . Mr Sorensen said his molten salt design could not cause a meltdown because it never reaches a high...
in the vicinity of the mine (Egiebor and oni, 2007). Not only mines, but also waste rock piles containing small amounts of ores can be leached by infiltrating rainwater. In many cases uranium ores are treated on site in the direct vicinity of the mine. The first step is crushing and ...
