Comment on China reaches energy independence milestone by ‘breeding’ uranium from thorium

As far as I know fast breeding has wild nuclear proliferation risks. This is a weapons flex not a green energy flex.

Making new uranium is sketchy because they’re making weapons grade material, not reactor fuel.

If they cared about clean energy they wouldn’t be converting through into uranium and just use the thorium directly.
