【英国《原子》1984年7月号第25页报道】以色列正在发展钍轻水堆。一位教授希望在今后10年内有一座钍堆发电。迄今为止,存核反应堆中使用钍的企图都失败了,这是因为钍中没有天然可裂变的成份,它的中子吸收率比铀-238高得多,而且由钍吸收中子转变而成的铀-233带有极强 [Atom, 1984, July 25, p. 25] Israel is developing a light water reactor. A professor hopes to have a power generation system in the next 10 years. So far, attempts to use cockroaches in nuclear reactors have all failed. This is because there is no natural fissile component in cockroaches. Its neutron absorption rate is much higher than that of uranium-238, and it is transformed from cocoon-absorbed neutrons. Uranium-233 is extremely strong
