Thorium Fuel Cycle - Potential Benefits and Challenges
IAEA TECDOC Series No.  1450 
There has been significant interest among Member States in developing
advanced and innovative technologies for safe, proliferation resistant and
economically efficient nuclear fuel cycles, while minimizing waste and
environmental impacts. This publication provides a critical review of the
thorium fuel cycle: potential benefits and challenges in the thorium fuel
cycle, mainly based on the latest developments at the frontend of the fuel
cycle, applying thorium fuel cycle options, and at the back end of the
thorium fuel cycle. The aim is to address the benefits and challenges faced
in the front and back ends of the thorium fuel cycle, highlighting fuel
fabrication, reprocessing and waste management. In addition, this
publication provides an insight into the reasons for renewed interest in the
thorium fuel cycle, different implementation scenarios and options for the
thorium cycle and an update of the information base on thorium fuels and
fuel cycles.

I wonder, what the opinion of the RADSAFE community is. Most of all I
believe that there are collegues out there, who might know much better than
I do....
