Nuclear energy is like that friend who is your best friend and can save you from many situations, but also can get you in ...

In the deserts of China, the world’s first operational thorium reactor has come online—powered by declassified U.S. research. Long considered a safer, cleaner alternative to uranium, thorium could ...

Thorium-MOX, in short, is about as exciting as it gets in the nuclear power industry. Before it can be used, though, Thor Energy needs to make sure that the thorium fuel cycle is fully understood ...

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 ...

Sri Lanka’s National People’s Power (NPP) government plans to phase out coal and embrace nuclear power in its 2025–2044 ...

Discover how Copenhagen Atomics’ molten salt thorium reactor offers safer, low-cost, and efficient nuclear energy with ...

Ocean-Power and Copenhagen Atomics are joining forces to study thorium-based molten salt reactor deployment for clean energy in Norway.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory ran molten salt thorium reactor experiments from the 1960s until 1976. Now, the European team is giving it another shot.

Weinberg long promoted the ORNL-designed molten salt reactor experiment (MSRE) based on Glenn Seaborg ’s 1942 discovery using a cyclotron that bombarding thorium with neutrons that eventually yields ...

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 ...
