The first thorium molten salt reactor has officially entered the construction phase. Unlike conventional reactors, it uses thorium as a fertile material that is converted into usable fuel during ...

This accelerating technology and underutilized resource could reshape global energy geopolitics — meet the molten-salt ...

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 ...

Seventy years of scientific effort and billions of dollars spent have led to the first practical breakthrough in thorium nuclear fuel, but it comes from a foreign company rather than India’s research ...

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’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 ...

A new license for Clean Core Thorium Energy to sell its fuel to India could revolutionize the nation's nuclear industry. For just the second time in nearly two decades, the United States has granted ...

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 ...
