Lanthanum thorate (LaThO3) is a mixed rare-earth and actinide oxide ceramic compound that combines lanthanum with thorium in a perovskite-related crystal structure. This material is primarily investigated in nuclear fuel development, refractory applications, and advanced ceramic research, where its thermal stability and potential radiation tolerance make it of interest for high-temperature containment and fuel matrix applications; however, it remains largely in the experimental phase rather than widespread industrial production due to the handling requirements of thorium and the availability of alternative fuel systems.
