Abstract
In some parts of the earth’s interior, energy is produced from the decay of the radioactive isotopes of uranium, thorium and potassium. It is known that energy at a temperature suitable for space heating is to be found in underground reservoirs of hot water (aquifers) and also in hot dry rocks (HDR).
