Alongside small modular reactors, molten salt reactors (MSRs) that use Thorium as a fuel, are considered cheaper, cleaner and safer options to the traditional nuclear reactors.

Norwegian energy developer Ocean-Power and Danish nuclear technology company Copenhagen Atomics have signed a memorandum of ...

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 ...

The Denver International Airport is soliciting proposals for a feasibility study regarding the possibility of a small modular ...

Thorium reactors are considered the solid-state batteries of nuclear power, boasting advantages yet to be fully realized. A Danish company is making significant strides towards realizing ...

Dr Syed Alwi Ahmad, a theoretical physicist and member of the RDU Central Executive Committee, remains firmly sceptical. He ...

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

This module delves into the unique properties of thorium and its potential as a safer and more sustainable alternative in nuclear reactor technology. introduces an overview on thorium-based reactors’ ...

China’s thorium reactor is so important because it serves as an opportunity for the United States to move into the thorium space and increase both its soft power and global influence. In April ...

While China has claimed that the recently discovered deposits could yield 1 million tons of thorium if fully exploited, the country's confirmed reserves stand at around 100,000 tons, according to ...

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 ...
