Siklus bahan bakar torium
Siklus bahan bakar torium adalah sebuah siklus bahan bakar nuklir yang menggunakan sebuah isotop torium, unknown element Thorium., sebagai bahan pembiakan. Dalam reaktor, unknown element Thorium. diubah menjadi isotop uranium artifisial fisil 233U yang merupakan bahan bakar nuklir.
