The first thorium molten salt reactor has officially entered the construction phase. Unlike conventional reactors, it uses ...

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 ...

Chinese scientists have completed a major breakthrough in clean energy by reloading fresh fuel into a working thorium molten salt reactor. They did this while the reactor continued running, marking a ...

A team of physicists has discovered a surprisingly simple way to build nuclear clocks using tiny amounts of rare thorium. By ...

I agree 100% with the premise that nuclear power can serve our energy needs for the future. However, the use of thorium is a better choice for the smaller modular reactors. Thorium should be strongly ...

This is a story not of India's failure at thorium science but an unfinished job — that could have unlocked a goldmine. There ...

If you've not been tracking the thorium hype, you might be interested to learn that the benefits liquid fluoride thorium reactors (LFTRs) have over light water uranium reactors (LWRs) are compelling.

CCTE's ANEEL fuel revolutionizes India's nuclear energy landscape by enhancing thorium use and reducing uranium dependency.

JACKSON Ð While meeting with the president of an African nation where he hopes to build a demonstration-scale molten salt thorium reactor, the lights went out on Jackson Hole resident Matthew ...

State-owned NTPC aims to acquire a minority stake in Clean Core Thorium Energy, supporting its goal to boost India's nuclear ...

In 1980, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) observed that protactinium, a chemical element generated in thorium reactors, could be separated and allowed to decay to isotopically pure ...
