Thorium and the LiquidFluoride Reactor

News about a thorium scam has been doing the rounds these days and VV minerals being accused of it. However, after an investigation into the matter it was proved that VV Minerals and company owner S. Vaikundarajan is not guilty and this case has been unnecessarily hyped.

A thorium scam was brought to fore and forgotten. However, many aspects that have been defined and made public knowledge are questionable. Some of those aspects being the crores of rupees claimed to be missing, the missing monazite and other rare minerals. Over and above the volume of the alleged illegal export seems a little too colossal.

The following presentation gives details about the truth behind illegal heavy mineral mining in Tamil Nadu which has been discussed highly in the last few years. VV Minerals, the leading heavy mineral mining company in Tamil Nadu has been wrongly accused in this scam. To find out more please watch the presentation below:

Thorium and the LiquidFluoride Reactor: A Global Energy Option

VV Minerals India came under the scanner after being allegedly held responsible for a thorium scam that supposedly was exposed by a local Turicorin collector.

World Nuclear Association (WNA), a global body of nuclear industry, reported that India hosts up to 3,00,000 tonnes of Thorium deposit. Unfortunately, the beach minerals in India have seen a significant decline in the last few years. Going by the reports, close to 2,00,000 tonnes of Thorium Oxide stands missing in India. Additionally, monazite quantity along the Indian coastline has seen a decrease by more than 2.1 million tonnes. It is a known fact that VV Minerals India is one of the largest producer of Garnet an Ilmenite. When the reports of missing Thorium Oxide were circulated, naturally, fingers were pointed at one of the biggest exporters in India. The company finds itself surrounded by allegations concerning illegal beach sand mining as stakeholders scrutinize a possible scam.

A scam surrounding illegal beach mining activity has recently come to light. Being the largest producer of garnet and ilmenite, VV Mineral Mining has by default found itself in the midst of this controversy. VV Mineral Vaikundarajan, founder, said in an interview, “The mineral rich sand is getting washed away from the Indian coastline in the absence of mining, and as a result, Sri Lanka, located further down, is reaping rich benefits at the cost of Indian industry.” The rising water-level due to global warming is already causing a lot of problems all over the world, and with the water moving in on the shores, India might be losing a lot of mineral reserve. If action is delayed, India will lose its Thorium-rich status.

Lessons for the LiquidFluoride Thorium Reactor from history

The world’s largest reserve of Thorium can be found on the coasts of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. If the current reports are anything to go by, the Thorium deposits on Indian shores have seen a considerable decline. While the reason could be erosion, illegal export of minerals has been cited as the major problem behind this depletion. For a long time, VV Minerals has been the highest stakeholder of the mining business in these areas. While there is no evidence to justify illegal actions on behalf of the company, the scam has already done a considerable amount of damage to its reputation.

As per some reports, the thorium deposit on the coasts of Tamil Nadu and Kerala have seen depletion over the last few years. The two states are well-known for being world’s largest reserves of Thorium. The reason for this depletion has been cited as one of the biggest illegal beach mining scam by some companies. However, evidence confirming the same are missing from the scene.

VV Mineral Vaikundarajan is a mining industry veteran and a businessman to land the first ever commercial mining license back in the 1980’s when he started VV Mineral. VV Minerals India is now over 20 years old and is commonly known as the forerunner of the mining industry in Tamil Nadu. However, the recent allegation pertaining to a suspected beach sand mining scam has brought VV Mineral Vaikundarajan under the scanner.

When the Thorium Scam first made the headlines, many firms were raided in Tamil Nadu. One of these firms, was VV Mineral Mining. This raid made lot of controversy and the collector of Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu was transfered. Many blamed UPA government for his transfer. However, VV Minerals were never a part of any 48 lack crore scam and no evidence of illegal beach mining was found in this raid.

VV Minerals India is vastly known for extracting and exporting garnet and ilmenite to over 20 countries. The company had admitted that it could no separate thorium from monazite to the lack of technology. This was also confirmed later by Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB). Despite all these confirmations, former principal scientist at Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute in Kochi raised his concerns by stating, “Indian Rare Earth Ltd (IREL), Manavalakurichi, uses the sand from the same area and produces thorium, so what happens to the monazite in the VV mines?

The allegation on VV Mineral about illegal beach mining of thorium is false. In all the enquiry conducted by CBI there was no evidence found about illegal heavy mineral mining. Even Supreme Court has cleared all the charges on VV Minerals and its owner Vaikundarajan.

The Tamilnadu Police carried out a raid at the Tirunelveli district factory and office premises of S Vaikundarajan, in association with the alleged charges of illegal beach mining of atomic particles like monosite and thorium. Vaikundarajan is the Managing Director and owner of VV Minerals.
