The Difference Between a Hydrogen Bomb and an Atom Bomb

The atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were terribly destructive. Hydrogen bombs are over 3,000 times as powerful. Here’s why.

Thorium reactors may dispose of enormous amounts of weapons-grade plutonium

Scientists from the School of Nuclear Science & Engineering of Tomsk Polytechnic University are developing a technology for the creation of high-temperature, low-power reactors with thorium fuel. The scientists propose to burn weapons-grade plutonium in these units, converting it into power and thermal energy. Thermal energy generated at thorium reactors may be used in hydrogen industrial production and for desalinating water. The results of the study were published in Annals of Nuclear…
