Thorium may surpass uranium – ex-Uranium One CEO Froneman

Thorium may in time surpass uranium as a nuclear fuel, says former Uranium One CEO Neal Froneman.

While remaining bullish on uranium, the current Gold One CEO says that thorium has a fuel cycle of its own.

“You will hear a lot more about thorium from an energy point of view in the not-too-distant future,” he adds.
“At this point in time, the rest of the world is not set up to use thorium, but thorium could well, in the next 15 to 20 years, become a replacement for uranium, and we would like to be on the front foot if that turns out to be the case,” Froneman adds
