A team of Goelogists working on the latest seismographic technology in Herreng have stumbled across a vast, enormous deposit of Thorianite, or ThO2, a radioactive material soon to be implemented for power in the Empire. Any Nations interested in the purchase of thorianite or refined thorium should contact the Emperor immediately.

FROM:Laura Conway, Proletarian Republic of Free Tulsa Minister of Energy
SUBJECT:More information
Before considering purchase, we require more information on this new mineral. How is it different from uranium or any of the other radioactives used in energy production? Is it safe? Can it be found in sufficient quantities to ensure a steady supply? Can it be used in nuclear fusion as well as fission? Furthermore, we would like to purchase a small amount of this substance for research purposes - namely, twenty kilograms of it. The required $1000 will be wired to your national coffers upon delivery of the substance.

The difference is, thorium reactors are far more efficient, thorium is about three times as abundant as uranium, and yes, thorium-power surpasses uranium and other sources in stability and safety.
