有可能取代铀成为核能发电原料的稀有金属元素钍,经证实在台湾西海岸蕴藏量相当丰富,是十分珍贵的资源。 台湾西海岸的海滨和沙洲中的重砂矿床,约有50万吨的重砂,含有磁铁矿、钛铁矿、锆石及独居石。 重砂中以锆石及独居石较重要,独居石中含有1％的氧化钍,可用来提炼成能取代铀而作为核能发电的原料钍。经过调查,独居石的蕴藏量,黑色独居石约占5万吨,黄色独居石约占5千吨。除此之外,台湾海域大陆棚区有三个沉积盆地具有储油的潜能,它们分别是台湾北方海盆、北部海盆及南部海盆。
It is possible to replace thorium, which is a rare metal element that makes uranium a raw material for nuclear power generation, and it has been proven that the reserves on the west coast of Taiwan are quite abundant and are very precious resources. There are about 500,000 tons of heavy sand in the beach and sandbanks on the west coast of Taiwan, containing magnetite, ilmenite, zircon and monazite. In heavy sand, zircon and monazite are more important. Monazite contains 1% of thorium oxide, which can be used as raw material for thorium that can replace uranium for nuclear power generation. After investigation, monazite reserves, black monazite accounted for about 50000 tons, yellow monazite accounted for about 5000 tons. In addition, there are three sedimentary basins in the continental shelf area of Taiwan Sea that have potential for oil storage: the northern basin of Taiwan, the northern basin and the southern basin, respectively.
