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 instead of ...

Chinese scientists have completed a major breakthrough in clean energy by reloading fresh fuel into a working thorium molten salt reactor. They did this while the reactor continued running, marking a ...

CCTE's ANEEL fuel revolutionizes India's nuclear energy landscape by enhancing thorium use and reducing uranium dependency.

The experimental TMSR-LF1 thorium-powered molten salt reactor in Wuwei, Gansu Province, has achieved the first successful conversion of thorium-uranium nuclear fuel, the Shanghai Institute of Applied ...

Seventy years of scientific effort and billions of dollars spent have led to the first practical breakthrough in thorium ...

The board of the state-owned NTPC has reportedly approved a minority equity investment in CCTE in a strategic early stage participation effort in this niche area, a move seen as strengthening India–US ...

The material is three to four times more abundant than uranium and produces about 250 times the amount of energy per unit of weight. So what´s the trick? The use of thorium is based on an ...

This is a story not of India's failure at thorium science but an unfinished job — that could have unlocked a goldmine. There ...
