During the Manhattan Project, when they did the crash program for the weapon, they went through the periodic table to find out what elements could possibly be used to create the energy.
And they chose uranium because the byproduct was the plutonium that they needed for the weapons and for the nuclear reactors.
But it's not the only element that would work.
Element number 90 is thorium.
Thorium is abundant in the Earth's crust.
Almost every nation has access to it, so it's very easy to get.
It cannot melt down like a Fukushima.
