How is thorium stored?

Thorium has a number of uses. It is added to magnesium alloys to improve strength. It can be used as a radiation shield. It has is used in ceramics for heat resistance in high temperature crucibles. It has a number of other specialty uses.

Thorium has the potential to be used in nuclear reactors, because it is fertile. It can be used in reactors that have promise of producing almost no waste, it does not need enrichment, and the supply of it is far greater than the supply of uranium. It is estimated that if we switched to thorium for our electric supply, the reserve is sufficient to provide for current levels of consumption for thousands of years.
