This marks the first time anyone has successfully reloaded fuel in an operational thorium molten salt reactor (MSR) without ...

China has discovered a rare earth mineral that is capable of helping it achieve energy sufficiency for thousands of years China said it found thorium in large deposits in the Bayan Obo mining ...

Thorium, commonly found in igneous rocks and heavy mineral sands, is named after Thor, the god of thunder in Norse mythology. It is three times more abundant in nature than uranium, but historically ...

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.

Chinese scientists have achieved a milestone in clean energy technology by successfully adding fresh fuel to an operational thorium molten salt reactor, according to state media reports.

As an improvisation, by using thorium irradiated along with HALEU in the PHWRs at scale, the spent fuel produced can then be recycled to set up additional power generation capacity ...
