The radiological half-life of thorium is approximately 14 billion years; however, it's biological half-life in human organs has varied (liver-∼2 y, skeleton∼20 y, lungs -∼2) (Kumar et al ...
Replacement Times of a Spectrum of Elements in the North …
The measurable supply of 232Th to the ocean can be used to derive the supply of other elements, which is more difficult to quantify directly. The measured inventory of an element divided by the derived supply yields a replacement time estimate, which in special circumstances is related to a residence time. As a proof of concept, Th‐based supply rates imply a range in …

Thorium
Here Thorium will be introduced in the fuel cycle to convert it into fissile material U-233. Lots of research has been going on at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) to develop technologies that will help in utilization of Thorium. Some of the research activities are mentioned below. Experience of the entire Thorium fuel cycle has been generated.

Pakistan's Growing Uranium Enrichment Program | Institute …
Such supply is viewed by many countries as a violation of NSG guidelines. Although China successfully grandfathered under these guidelines the provision of two nuclear power reactors, other NSG members have objected to China continuing to supply additional nuclear power reactors that are clearly not grandfathered. Moreover, Pakistan's ...
Thorium-228 supply ripe for research into medical applications
As a medical isotope, thorium-228 has a lot of potential – and Oak Ridge National Laboratory produces a lot. That's one reason ORNL researchers are especially excited about studies looking at different medical applications for the radioisotope.ORNL produces large quantities of Th-228 for the Department of Energy's Isotope Program as a byproduct of …
