Answer: D) All of these are correct.
Advantages of Thorium over Uranium:
- Abundance – Thorium is ~3-4× more plentiful in the Earth’s crust than uranium.
- Energy per mass – Per kilogram of mined ore, thorium can release more energy than natural uranium (about 6× more).
- Waste profile – Thorium fuel cycles can be designed to generate far smaller quantities of long-lived transuranic wastes compared with uranium-based reactors.
Therefore, statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct.
