China's thorium molten salt reactor has become the first in the world to transmute thorium fuel into uranium fuel for nuclear ...
The experimental TMSR-LF1 thorium-powered molten salt reactor in Wuwei, Gansu Province, has achieved the first successful ...
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 ...
