this week Indias fast breeder reactor reached criticality which is a big milestone. only russia had done this before and it marks the second stage of India’s three stage nuclear program.
the logic of a fast breeder reactor is instead of just consuming fuel it produces more fissile material than it uses. it uses plutonium as fuel and converts uranium 238 into more usable fuel. in the third stage thorium 232 is converted into uranium 233, which can sustain nuclear reactions.
so the long term goal is to use thorium as a fuel source. india holds one of the largest thorium reserves in the world. if the third stage succeeds, india could generate power for around 60000 years because of this resource base and the closed fuel cycle approach.
so could UFOs have found interest in india moving in this direction with thorium? is there any possibility that UFO technology uses thorium as its energy source since it is so abundant in nature?
