Thanks in advance.

TLDR:

1. India has one of the world's largest reserves of Thorium along the sand beaches of east coast & minimal reserves of uranium.
2. Therefore, India has been attempting to build Thorium fuelled reactors
3. While Nehru had banned export of the mineral rich sands because of presence of rare earths, the bans were subsequently lifted in 2006, making it easier for sand mining companies to export the rare earths from sand except Thorium. Ban was lifted to coincide with Indo-US nuclear deal
4. While technically there is ban on Thorium export by private companies, there is no accountability and as per Lok Sabha records between 2002 & 2012, 60 lakh crores worth Thorium has disappeared from the beaches.
5. Indo-US nuclear deal meanwhile made us dependent on imported uranium to benefit US nuclear based corporates, while throttling Thorium fuelled development and at the same time, effectively bound us to non-proliferation treaty with the agreement that if we test any more nuclear weapons, we will lose all access to uranium. This at a time we are increasingly moving towards replacing coal based power with imported uranium based power.
6. China built its first Thorium fuelled reactor in Sep 21.

A look into US universities focusing on India's vast resources of Thorium & attempt to use it for nuclear reactors & not depend on uranium:

>Thorium does have several advantages over Uranium as a nuclear power source. Thorium is three times more abundant in the Earth's crust than Uranium, and many Thorium deposits contain other mineral resources of value (rare earths elements in particular). Significant Thorium deposits exist in the United States, Brazil, India, and Australia; these countries all have estimates of Thorium resources of greater than 600 kt. [1] Additionally, all the Thorium that is mined can be used in a reactor, in comparison to less than 1% of natural Uranium that may be used. [2] Finally, Th-232 possesses a 14 billion year half-life, rendering it safer than Uranium and Plutonium. [2]

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

BamBOO!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

I won't be doing that today!

Where ever you left it 🤷‍♀️🤭

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

You take away their little brooms

It was about a weak back.

Why

It’s pronounced “Noel.”

After all his first name is No-vac

What, then, is Chinese rap?

Edit:

Notable mentions from the comments:

• Spanish/Swedish/Swiss/Serbian hits

• French/Finnish art

• Country/Canadian rap

• Chinese/Country/Canadian rock

• Turkish/Tunisian/Taiwanese rap

There hasn't been a single post this year!

(Happy 2022 from New Zealand)

Nothing, it just waved

Him: I can explain everything!

(It's his best joke yet I think)
