Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...

India aims to expand nuclear power capacity to 21,980 MW by 2031-32, emphasizing thorium utilization, safety, and ...

However, thorium could be used to make a new type of reactor called a molten-salt reactor. Thorium is 'fertile', which means that an atom of thorium can be transformed into an atom of uranium-232 ...

This is because thorium is 'fertile', meaning it can transmute into uranium-233 (U-233) when bombarded with neutrons. In a molten-salt reactor, thorium is mixed with a chemical called lithium ...

Talk about planning ahead. Molten-Salt Reactors: The Cool Kids of Nuclear Power Now, before you start envisioning a world powered by thorium, let's talk logistics. Traditional nuclear reactors are ...

Malaysia aims to collaborate, share knowledge, and acquire technology transfer from China and India in the use of thorium as nuclear fuel, said Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Chang Lih ...
