[00:00:00] India's world's biggest thing is one of the biggest things that we have in the world. This is the future energy option for a powerful option. Hello, I am your host Ashwin and today we are talking about Thorium. Thorium's atomic number is 90 and atomic weight is 222. This is a naturally occurring radioactive actinide which is known as monazite sands.

[00:00:30] Thorium's core relevance advanced nuclear fuel and next generation reactors. Thorium based reactors theoretically safer and lower waste generate. India's three stage nuclear power program is focused on thorium utilization. Global reserves, India, Australia and USA are strong position.

[00:00:54] India's future vision, indigenous thorium reactors and energy independence achieve. Recent nuclear engineering research, molten salt thorium reactors safer passive cooling systems, explore. Thorium is a strong vision that long term vision is sustainable energy.
