A Thorium Reactor in the Middle of the Desert Has Rewritten the Rules of Nuclear Power Move over, uranium. Get out of here, water. Thorium and salt are the new MVPs of nuclear power.

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 ...

China’s new reactor builds on work abandoned by the United States as recently as 2018. Thorium, a radioactive metal named after the Norse god Thor, has some merits.

Thorium reactors, particularly liquid fluoride thorium reactors (LFTRs), prioritize safety with passive mechanisms, reduced operational risks, and scalability for diverse environments.

The Tennessee Valley Authority submitted a construction permit application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a small, modular nuclear reactor.

In a molten salt reactor, thorium and uranium fluorides are dissolved in molten salt, which, in ThorCon’s case is a mix of fluorides of beryllium and sodium heated between 560C and 700C.

China's thorium reactor is so important because it serves as an opportunity for the United States to increase its soft power.
