Thorium Fluoride, ThF4 is naturally radioactive and must be handled in accordance with established regulations.
Are there any liquid fluoride thorium reactors?
The liquid fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR; often pronounced lifter) is a type of molten salt reactor. LFTRs use the thorium fuel cycle with a fluoride-based, molten, liquid salt for fuel. LFTRs are defined by the use of fluoride fuel salts and the breeding of thorium into uranium-233 in the thermal neutron spectrum.
How much does a liquid fluoride thorium reactor cost?
Development of LFTR equipment technology, testing of the design and construction, and construction of factories to produce them: ~$5Billion. Build 100MW LFTRs on assembly lines: ~$200 Million. Fuel for 1GW electricity in a LFTR or any MSR: $10,000/yr.
