As a magnesium alloy, a small quantity of thorium can be used for its. hardening and lightweight properties, making it ideal for the aerospace industry.1 One problem. with thorium is its mildly radioactive nature, producing concerns over its safety and potential. harmful effects.
Ironically, thorium's high density and atomic number make it an effective radiation shield, although lead and depleted uranium are more frequently used. Thorium is not fissile, so it cannot be used to make an atomic bomb or nuclear reactor. However, when this element is inserted into a nuclear reactor, the high neutron flux causes some of it to transmute to U-233, which is fissile.
