An experimental Chinese nuclear plant reportedly just crossed a historic threshold, successfully operating the world’s first thorium-based molten salt reactor (TMSR). The Chinese Academy of Sciences’ ...
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 ...
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 ...
A research team in China may have taken a major step toward making nuclear power far more sustainable, per the South China Morning Post. Scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences confirmed that an ...
China’s Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics (SINAP) in November reported it had achieved thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion inside an operating molten salt reactor (MSR). The milestone provides the ...
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 ...
China’s experimental thorium molten salt reactor has reportedly achieved sustained thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion, marking a major scientific first. The breakthrough could ease China’s dependence ...
