Thu, April 24, 2025 at 6:00 PM UTC It is possible to recycle the U-233 decay into new fuel, or continue fueling the machine with it as is, the latter of which is usually done with molten salt reactors ...
Copenhagen Atomics has signed a Letter of Intent with Rare Earths Norway to explore long-term thorium supply from the Fensfeltet deposit.
China just pulled off a feat no nation has managed before: it kept a nuclear reactor running while swapping out its radioactive fuel. That reactor, quietly humming away in the Gobi Desert, isn’t ...
In a remote region of the Gobi Desert, China has successfully launched a nuclear experiment that could alter the global energy landscape. Chinese scientists have achieved what no other country has: ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
