An overview of thorium as a prospective natural resource for future energy
Frontiers in Energy Research, 2023 Thorium is a naturally occurring radioactive element that has been identified as a potential alternative fuel for nuclear energy production. Additionally, thorium-based nuclear reactors have inherent safety features that reduce the risk of nuclear ...

Efficient and selective capture of thorium ions by a covalent organic framework
Nature Communications, 2023 The selective separation of thorium from rare earth elements and uranium is a critical part of the development and application of thorium nuclear energy in the future. To better understand the role of different N sites on the selective capture of Th(IV),

The implication of Thorium fraction on neutronic parameters of pebble bed reactor
Kuwait Journal of Science, 2021 Thorium abundance in the Earth's crust is estimated to be three to four times higher than uranium. This is one potential advantages of thorium as a provider of attractive fuel to produce nuclear energy.

Thorotrast and in vivo thorium dioxide: numerical simulation of 30 years of alpha radiation absorption by the tissues near a large compact source [PDF]
, 2014 Background: The epidemiology of the slightly radioactive contrast agent named Thorotrast presents a very long latency period between the injection and the development of the related pathologies.

Thorium–phosphorus triamidoamine complexes containing Th–P single- and multiple-bond interactions
Nature Communications, 2016 Despite the burgeoning field of uranium-ligand multiple bonds, analogous complexes involving other actinides remain scarce. For thorium, under ambient conditions only a few multiple bonds to carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, selenium and tellurium are ...

Autoluminescent Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs): Self-Photoemission of a Highly Stable Thorium MOF
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2018 A novel thorium(IV) metal-organic framework (MOF), Th(2,6-naphtalenedicarboxylate)2, has been synthesized via solvothermal reaction of thorium nitrate and 2,6-naphtalendicarboxilyc acid.
