China has announced the operation of the world’s first experimental thorium molten-salt nuclear reactor, marking a major milestone in nuclear energy research. Thorium reactors are considered safer and produce less long-lived waste than traditional uranium reactors. Key Facts: • Uses thorium instead of uranium • Based on molten salt reactor (MSR) technology • Lower risk of meltdown • Produces less long-term radioactive waste • Thorium is more abundant than uranium • Reactor is experimental, not c

China plans to start building the world’s first molten salt nuclear power plant that uses thorium as fuel instead of uranium in the Gobi Desert. Saroya Hem tells you more Watch more at wionews.com/videos | WION
