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 ...
Thorium is often pitched as the “better nuclear fuel”—safer, cleaner, and more abundant than uranium. But is it truly a game-changer, or just an overhyped talking point that ignores engineering and ...
Kirk Sorensen, an engineer and long-time public advocate for thorium fuel for nuclear reactors in lectures across four continents, will bring his message to Oak Ridge at noon Tuesday, Sept. 12. A ...
Chinese scientists successfully converted thorium-232 into uranium-233 within an experimental thorium molten salt reactor, validating the technical feasibility of the thorium fuel cycle. This ...
The experimental TMSR-LF1 thorium-powered molten salt reactor in Wuwei, Gansu Province, has achieved the first successful conversion of thorium-uranium nuclear fuel, the Shanghai Institute of Applied ...
China has confirmed a major milestone in nuclear science after achieving the world’s first successful conversion of thorium into uranium fuel inside a working molten salt reactor. The experimental ...
