Detailed Solution

Monazite sand, which is found in Kerala, is rich in thorium. Nuclear energy is a prominent non-conventional source of energy. The excessive use of non-renewable resources causes several environmental problems. Therefore a shift toward renewable resources is needed. Nuclear or atomic energy is generated by the fusion or fission of atoms that release heat and energy, which is used to generate electricity. In Kerala, monazite sands are used for generating nuclear or atomic energy. Earth elements like cerium and lanthanum are also extracted from monazite minerals.
