mantles

Formerly used to make gas mantles, it is about three times as abundant in the earth’s crust as uranium.

The water storage capacity of the upper and lower mantles is less than 0.2 wt%.

According to David Hahn's Wikipedia page[1], his reactor used thorium, purified from thorium ash used in lantern mantles, and not americium.

With all the torched thorium mantles and radium dials, he was definitely getting plenty of that (and the subsequent daughter products).

Traditionally, lantern mantles were made with Thorium to produce a brighter and whiter light.

That leaves anyone who can actually sing, paint, play, dance, in prime position to take up those mantles.

It's amazing how people take on entirely new mantles when things get tough, and you just simply can't predict that that will look like.

We’re more likely to see the EU take up those mantles.

I think thorium still gets sold as welding supplies, but no longer for gas mantles.

They have taken up the mantles of so many of our longstanding societal problems, only to be led by outright con men and liars who are doing nothing to actually address those problems.

It would be the same case for Nike shoes made by underage children, harvested donor parts masqueraded as ethical donations, fur mantles made with illegally hunted animals, black tuna fished from illegal waters etc.
