The US is in some ways the Saudi Arabia of thorium and the beaches of Long Island and Californa contains thorium.
The thorium energy company LightBridge (formerly known as ThoriumPower) is developing thorium fuel rods for conventional nuclear power plants. This is a commercial, readily available technology that puts great focus on thorium. However, it is in many ways a tough introduction since the fuel rods are hard to make (since they also contain uranium and plutonium) and the waste is not substantially reduced even if the proliferation risk is.
Seth Grae, CEO of LightBridge, is interviewed by Bloomberg's Margaret Brennan who says that the US is in some ways the Saudi Arabia of thorium and that the beaches of Long Island and Californa contains thorium.
