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 like this new thorium reactor ...

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.

Thorium: The abundant, efficient, and eco-friendly energy source poised to solve the global energy crisis. Thorium energy reactors are a way ...

The successful completion of the Phase 1 pre-licensing marks a major milestone for the company and nuclear industry as the first thorium-based fuel for CANDU reactors to successfully complete this ...

A thorium-fueled reactor is the latest idea being revived after getting shelved in the mid-20th century. China has once again beat everyone else to a clean energy milestone—its new nuclear ...

India's target is to generate 100 GW of nuclear energy capacity by 2047, and US-based Clean Core Thorium Energy seems to have ...

Thorium reactors were first developed in the 1950s in the U.S., before it went all-in on uranium, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency.

China is already building a much larger 10-megawatt thorium reactor, scheduled to reach criticality by 2030. Nuclear energy has been enjoying a renaissance of thanks to the energy crisis triggered ...

Although uranium-235 is the typical fuel for commercial fission reactors on account of it being fissile, it’s relatively rare relative to the fertile U-238 and thorium (Th-232). Using either … ...

Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than uranium—the most common fission fuel. The system also uses molten salt instead of water to cool the fission reactor, which is ...
