A recently declassified geological survey suggests that China may have far more thorium than previously estimated, placing the country at the forefront of next-generation nuclear energy. The discovery ...

It presents an overview of exploration and evaluation of projects, including studies for project feasibility, principles of ore processing, as well as market and production scenarios. Selected ...

Thorium is a relatively abundant, slightly radioactive element which is commonly produced as a byproduct of mining rare-earth metals. On its own, thorium isn't fissile, which means it doesn't ...

Well, hold onto your power cords, folks, because China might have just discovered the secret sauce to unlimited energy—thorium. Yes, thorium, the underdog of the periodic table, is stepping into ...

China could be sitting on top of enough thorium to power its energy needs almost forever, a national survey has revealed. This one radioactive metal alone could revolutionise global energy ...

China’s geologists claim to have found an “endless” energy source in Inner Mongolia. The thorium reserves could power the country for 60,000 years, reshaping the global energy landscape.
