Thu, April 24, 2025 at 6:00 PM UTC It is possible to recycle the U-233 decay into new fuel, or continue fueling the machine with it as is, the latter of which is usually done with molten salt reactors ...

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 ...

In a remote region of the Gobi Desert, China has successfully launched a nuclear experiment that could alter the global energy landscape. Chinese scientists have achieved what no other country has: ...

- 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Copenhagen Atomics has signed a Letter of Intent with Rare Earths Norway to explore long-term thorium supply from the Fensfeltet deposit.

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 ...
