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.

Power-short Indonesia is mulling building a nuclear power plant, such as high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) and thorium molten salt reactors.

China, however, has recently built and powered up a test reactor in the Gobi Desert that has achieved full power operations. What makes this reactor particularly notable is that they are using Thorium ...

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 ...

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.

Experimental Molten Salt Nuclear Reactor Gets Go-Ahead In China The reactor is a lot more efficient than regular nuclear reactors.

A resident of Alabama, he will speak on “Thorium Molten-Salt Reactors and the Challenge of Affordable Nuclear Energy” at the monthly hybrid meeting of Friends of Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
