The experimental TMSR-LF1 thorium-powered molten salt reactor in Wuwei, Gansu Province, has achieved the first successful ...
From chipmaking breakthrough to a STEM crisis in China’s universities, here are some highlights from SCMP’s recent science ...
It has successfully achieved the first-ever conversion of thorium into uranium fuel within a Thorium Molten Salt Reactor ...
Chinese research institute confirms success of fission-based innovation that is poised to reshape clean, sustainable nuclear ...
Execution. The art of making it possible. To dwell on how to make it happen. To pay attention to details, the nuts and bolts ...
China just pulled off a feat no nation has managed before: it kept a nuclear reactor running while swapping out its radioactive fuel. That reactor, quietly humming away in the Gobi Desert, isn’t ...
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 ...
