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 ...

Maharashtra is advancing plans to build India's first commercial thorium-based nuclear power plants, a significant shift in ...

A recently declassified geological survey suggests that China may have far more thorium than previously estimated, placing the country at the forefront of next-generation nuclear energy. The discovery ...

China has disclosed critical specifications for a nuclear-powered ‘world’s largest’ cargo ship under development, revealing it will be driven by a groundbreaking thorium-based molten salt reactor ...

The second stage uses this plutonium in fast breeder reactors to multiply fuel and prepare the ground for the final phase — ...

What if the key to solving the world’s energy crisis has been hiding in plain sight, buried within the Earth’s crust? Imagine an energy source that is not only abundant and efficient but also safer ...

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 ...

Now that we can access uranium from the international market, the thermal reactor capacity is on a growth path. This scale-up ...

The material is three to four times more abundant than uranium and produces about 250 times the amount of energy per unit of weight. So what´s the trick? The use of thorium is based on an ...

Norwegian energy developer Ocean-Power and Danish nuclear technology company Copenhagen Atomics have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly study the potential for producing electricity and ...
