Fission, not fusion

Chemainus – I am sure Laurie Thomson, commenting on the use of thorium for electrical power generation in B.C., meant to reference fission and not fusion as the recommended technology.

To date, fusion remains unproven. He might have added that thorium fission was developed more than 60 years ago and experimental reactors have been operated successfully for years.
