Times Readers’ Advice for Obama in Hiroshima: Focus on a Nuclear-Free Future
Some readers debate whether the president should apologize for America dropping the bomb on Japan. Others urge him to focus on a tomorrow without such weapons.Dense urban development requires more energy than the kilowatt per square meter.
A practical source of that energy is nuclear fission.
Nuclear fission breeds Pu239 and Pu240 out of U238 with the aid of U235.
The reaction is not clean. Byproducts are produced.
Pu239 is used as a bomb fuel as well as a power metal.
Thorium nuclear reactions run through U233.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium
"Thorium is weakly radioactive: all its known isotopes are unstable, with the seven naturally occurring ones (thorium-227, 228, 229, 230, 231, 232, and 234) having half-lives between 25.52 hours and 14.05 billion years. Thorium-232, which has 142 neutrons, is the most stable isotope of thorium and accounts for nearly all natural thorium,"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium#Nuclear_energy
I expect U233 could be a bomb fuel.
Careful design and siting are our best defenses against further disasters.
