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

Climate change dwarfs the coronavirus as a threat to humanity. Greenhouse gasses are worse than nuclear waste — we cannot isolate and dispose of greenhouse gasses. They will be with us even after we ...

Death of nuclear physicist Xu Hongjie came just weeks before the project he led achieved a breakthrough in fourth-generation ...

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

It has successfully achieved the first-ever conversion of thorium into uranium fuel within a Thorium Molten Salt Reactor ...

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

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

Nuclear energy is making a comeback. Across Europe, governments are pouring huge amounts of money into new power plants while startups are busily working on smaller, modular alternatives. Most of ...

Because REs have a strong market and thorium a weak one, thorium is being stockpiled. Aggressive thorium nuclear is the obvious solution to both problems. Thorium reactors can be built big, but, ...

Extreme heat forged Earth’s continents billions of years ago, creating the stable foundation that made life possible.
