the moon's average thorium concentration is around 1 ppm, lower than earth's crustal average of about 10 ppm, but hotspots like kreep terrains and the compton-belkovich anomaly reach 5-20 ppm or higher locally. total estimated thorium reserves are roughly 100,000 to 1 million tons, concentrated in the near-side maria.
