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 ...

The experimental TMSR-LF1 thorium-powered molten salt reactor in Wuwei, Gansu Province, has achieved the first successful ...

This module delves into the unique properties of thorium and its potential as a safer and more sustainable alternative in nuclear reactor technology. introduces an overview on thorium-based reactors’ ...

Hidden American research from the 1960s has found new life in China’s deserts, turning thorium into the fuel of the future.

Chinese scientists achieved a breakthrough in clean energy technology by adding fresh fuel to an operational thorium reactor. The 2-megawatt experimental reactor is located in the Gobi Desert. The ...

What if the key to solving the world’s energy crisis has been hiding in plain sight, buried within the Earth’s crust? Imagine an energy source that is not only abundant and efficient but also safer ...

Chinese scientists have completed a major breakthrough in clean energy by reloading fresh fuel into a working thorium molten salt reactor. They did this while the reactor continued running, marking a ...

Not only has China built the world’s first 2-megawatt liquid-fuelled thorium molten salt reactor, it has also transformed ...

A recently declassified report has revealed that China may have far more thorium than previously estimated. The radioactive metal, already known to exist in vast quantities within China’s borders, ...
