Scientists in China have refuelled a thorium reactor on the fly for the first time. The breakthrough is paving the way for working reactors that are significantly safer than conventional alternatives.

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 ...

Asia leads global nuclear expansion with 145 operational reactors and 45 under construction, driven by China's dominance and ...

Thorium reactors are a road not taken, an alternative to designs based on the uranium fuel cycle that the West adopted.

Turning radioactive nuclear waste into a rare isotope could be the least expensive way to power future fusion reactors.

Thorium offers cleaner alternative to uranium Thorium could hold the key to the world´s energy future as it can power nuclear reactors that would never blow up and produce little, relatively ...

By tapping into a massive newly discovered thorium deposit and bringing molten salt reactor (MSR) technology into practical operation, China is laying the groundwork for 60,000 years of energy ...

Norwegian energy developer Ocean-Power and Danish nuclear technology company Copenhagen Atomics have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly study the potential for producing electricity and ...

This video explores thorium as a promising solution for achieving cheap, clean energy for our grid. It examines what thorium ...
