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 ...

The Texas legislature appropriated funds to advance produced water research and complete the MSR-1 molten salt research ...

Revisiting Thorium Energy explores the potential future of renewable energy through thorium reactors. Nuclear power, often ...

Copenhagen Atomics has received EIC funding to advance its thorium molten salt reactor technology and prepare it for market entry.

Texas Tech University, Abilene Christian University and Natura Resources are moving forward with plans to construct a molten ...

As part of the energy generation sources, Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) can produce electricity using nuclear fission reactors where the fuel or the coolants are molten salt.

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 ...

Molten salt reactors (MSRs) that employ thorium as a fuel, in addition to small modular reactors, are regarded as cheaper, cleaner, and safer alternatives to typical reactors fueled with highly ...

The Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has been granted an operating licence for the experimental TMSR-LF1 thorium-powered molten-salt reactor, construction of ...

The Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics - part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences - has been given approval by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment to commission an experimental thorium-powered ...

Thorium may sound like something out of a Marvel comic book, but the radioactive metal could provide a very real, renewable energy source. Chinese scientists have been working on a molten salt nuclear ...
