The experimental TMSR-LF1 thorium-powered molten salt reactor in Wuwei, Gansu Province, has achieved the first successful ...
Chinese scientists have successfully converted thorium into uranium in an operational molten salt reactor, achieving a ...
Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor. Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than uranium—the most common fission fuel. The system also uses molten salt instead of ...
China’s Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics has completed the first-ever thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion in its ...
Months after satellites picked up a massive nuclear fusion facility in China’s Sichuan province, the country’s nuclear industry has blown the lid off fission tech. During a private meeting earlier ...
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. A top down view of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's 1960s molten salt reactor experiment, an ...
The starting point is stunning enough to seem almost mythological: a giant thorium reserve discovered at the Bayan Obo mining complex in Inner Mongolia. Chinese geological teams confirmed that the ...
Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...
China’s thorium reactor is so important because it serves as an opportunity for the United States to move into the thorium space and increase both its soft power and global influence. In April 2025, ...
