China’s Institute of Modern Physics, part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is building what it calls the world’s first ...

From the world’s first in-reactor thorium breeding confirmation to a dual PWR-HTGR plant and commercial supercritical CO₂ ...

Chinese scientists successfully converted thorium-232 into uranium-233 within an experimental thorium molten salt reactor, validating the technical feasibility of the thorium fuel cycle. This ...

Thorium in the fuel only serves to blunt the reactivity in the reactor resulting from high U-235 enrichment and consequent high burn-up. The U-233 resulting from the transmutation of thorium is also ...

China has confirmed a major milestone in nuclear science after achieving the world’s first successful conversion of thorium into uranium fuel inside a working molten salt reactor. The experimental ...

Researchers from the University of Liverpool and Copenhagen Atomics say that salt purity is the critical factor in preventing ...

India holds the world’s largest thorium reserves, and thorium use not only offers energy independence but also virtually eliminates proliferation risk ...

Denmark's Copenhagen Atomics has signed a Letter of Intent with Rare Earths Norway to secure future access to thorium - the key fertile material in its molten salt reactor technology - extracted from ...
