http://ThoriumRemix.com - Kirk Sorensen is asked at Mount Royal University about using Thorium in a CANDU (heavy water) reactor. His response: No economic advantage to do so. Thorium can be efficiently consumed in a Molten Salt Reactor, not in a solid fuel reactor.

Also of interest to Canadians: Dr. David LeBlanc's talk on the advantage of molten salt reactors fuelled by uranium. LeBlanc says more emphasis needs to be put on reactor design than fuel choices, and liquid fuel is key to efficiency, which is key to lowered operational cost and improving the waste profile. http://youtube.com/watch?v=_-BXg18fAIk
