She does FUNDRAISING and gathers DONATIONS. Your post is unwarranted.

Don't go down that path.

(1,107 posts).......nuclear radiologist Peter Karamoskos, of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), says the world shouldn't hold its breath.
'Without exception, [thorium reactors] have never been commercially viable, nor do any of the intended new designs even remotely seem to be viable. Like all nuclear power production they rely on extensive taxpayer subsidies; the only difference is that with thorium and other breeder reactors these are of an order of magnitude greater, which is why no government has ever continued their funding.'
From The Guardian. (highlighting my own)
We can already produce more power than the world can use daily via renewables. The problem to overcome with them is storage. Put the same effort and taxpayer subsidies into overcoming that issue and we won't have to be concerned with issues of radioactivity.
You need to be informed better and stop drinking corporate koolaid.
