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

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 ...

Alternate Fuels: Thorium and Uranium-233, Report to Congress March 2023 This report describes the potential use of thorium fuel and uranium-233 (U-233) in future Generation IV reactor designs and in ...

- The waste products from a thorium reactor are far less dangerous than those of a uranium reactor - The thorium fuel can be made into some kind of gel-like substance that is essentially its own ...

Thorium reactors are being developed as advanced small modular reactors by a Danish company, designed to be compact and ...

If you've not been tracking the thorium hype, you might be interested to learn that the benefits liquid fluoride thorium reactors (LFTRs) have over light water uranium reactors (LWRs) are compelling.

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 ...

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 ...
