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

China's thorium molten salt reactor has become the first in the world to transmute thorium fuel into uranium fuel for nuclear ...

India achieved a historic milestone in nuclear technology, becoming only the second nation after Russia to master the fast-breeder reactor, a breakthrough that places it far ahead of China in the ...

Chinese research institute confirms success of fission-based innovation that is poised to reshape clean, sustainable nuclear ...

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 ...

Although uranium-235 is the typical fuel for commercial fission reactors on account of it being fissile, it’s relatively rare relative to the fertile U-238 and thorium (Th-232). Using either of these ...

Kirk Sorensen claims a person can literally hold a lifetime’s supply of power in his or her hand. Presenting to the Wyoming Task Force for Nuclear Energy Production via phone late last week, Sorensen ...

A novel nuclear reactor currently under construction at the Abilene Christian University (ACU) in Texas will help generate carbon-free energy while also desalinating water, solving two problems at ...
