How U-232 Influenced the Pathway of Thorium Reactors

Thorium reactors have always been associated with the production of uranium-232, whose strongly radioactive decay products inhibited its use in both nuclear weapons and solid-fueled nuclear reactors. Liquid-fluoride reactors were immune to the issue and still represent the best path forward for the implementation of the thorium fuel cycle.
