Danish innovator Copenhagen Atomics has secured a major financial endorsement from the European Innovation Council (EIC) to ...

Molten salt and thorium reactors are inherently safer and can have less nuclear waste (aka unused nuclear fuel.) Nuclear fuel is unused because even numbered isotopes are harder to split or react.

Copenhagen-based Seaborg Technologies, which is developing thorium-based Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs), has received pre-seed investment round. from an investment coalition led by Danish innovation ...

A team from the Nuclear Research and Consultancy Group (NRG) the Netherlands has built the first molten salt reactor powered by thorium in decades. By Ryan Whitwam August 28, 2017 Share on ...

Revisiting Thorium Energy explores the potential future of renewable energy through thorium reactors. Nuclear power, often viewed with apprehension, is recognized as a reliable, carbon-free energy ...

In a molten salt reactor, thorium and uranium fluorides are dissolved in molten salt, which, in ThorCon’s case is a mix of fluorides of beryllium and sodium heated between 560C and 700C.

When the first functional molten salt reactor was developed by scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, it ran at full power from 1965 though 1969 (over 13,000 hours), but the Department of ...

Over in China, the TMSR-LF1 thorium-based molten salt reactor is due to come online any day now. With the potential to crank out 2 MW of thermal energy, according to Chinese state media.

"The thorium-fueled molten salt experimental reactor operation application and related technical documents were reviewed, and it was considered that the application met the relevant safety ...

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 ...
