The first thorium molten salt reactor has officially entered the construction phase. Unlike conventional reactors, it uses ...

An experimental Chinese nuclear plant reportedly just crossed a historic threshold, successfully operating the world’s first thorium-based molten salt reactor (TMSR). The Chinese Academy of Sciences’ ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Aslak Stubsgaard, CTO of Copenhagen Atomics provided an update to Nextbigfuture on their development of a Molten Salt nuclear fission reactor. They are a molten salt reactor company developing a 100MW ...

Terrestrial Energy secured agreement with the US Department of Energy for Project TETRA initiative to build and operate a ...

Molten salt reactors (MSRs) present a new approach to industrial fission power. The nuclear fuel is dissolved in a high-temperature alkali-halide melt, such as lithium fluoride or sodium chloride, and ...

Bill Phillips, technical lead for salt synthesis, says, "It’s a major milestone for American innovation and a clear signal of ...

The board of the state-owned NTPC has reportedly approved a minority equity investment in CCTE in a strategic early stage participation effort in this niche area, a move seen as strengthening India–US ...
