Thorium is often pitched as the “better nuclear fuel”—safer, cleaner, and more abundant than uranium. But is it truly a ...

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 ...

This accelerating technology and underutilized resource could reshape global energy geopolitics — meet the molten-salt ...

China has just crossed a threshold that many nuclear engineers have talked about for decades but no country had previously achieved at scale: turning thorium into a practical, operating source of low ...

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 ...

Kirk Sorensen, an engineer and long-time public advocate for thorium fuel for nuclear reactors in lectures across four continents, will bring his message to Oak Ridge at noon Tuesday, Sept. 12. A ...

A new license for Clean Core Thorium Energy to sell its fuel to India could revolutionize the nation's nuclear industry. For just the second time in nearly two decades, the United States has granted ...

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 ...
