It's Elemental

When bombarded with neutrons, thorium-232 becomes thorium-233, which eventually decays into uranium-233 through a series of beta decays. Uranium-233 is a fissionable material and can be used as a nuclear fuel. Thorium oxide (ThO 2), one of thorium's compounds, has many uses. It is primarily used in a type of lantern mantel known as a …
