(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at Daresbury science park in Britain have offered a glimpse into what might be the future of nuclear energy production by showcasing a scaled down particle accelerator; one, that when combined with others just like it, could produce nuclear energy based on thorium, rather than uranium. Dubbed the Electron Machine with Many Applications (EMMA), the accelerator, a much smaller version of the kind used in physics research, such as the Large Hadron Collider, could be used to provide an accelerated beam necessary for the type of nuclear reaction used in a theoretical thorium plant.

Chris Wragge talks to nuclear energy expert Cham Dallas and Dr. Jennifer Ashton about radiation fears spreading to the U.S

Less than a year ago I was opposed to nuclear energy for reasons that I explained in this post . Nuclear power, I believed, was just too risky. Then I got an e-mail from Rod Adams, a former U.S
