Doesn't matter if there's radioactivity!
When there is radioactivity WE ALL have a special interest in it especially if we eat stuff DOWNHILL from the mines.
BTW, thorium is found worldwide. Earth has vast quantities of it. This is the stuff that decays and heats the interior ~ keeps that iron core liquid ~ and that generates the magnetic field that keeps harder radiation from space cooking all of us.
I love thorium, but in its place!
Yup, the earth runs on nuclear power.
