After a half-century hiatus, thorium has returned to the front lines of nuclear power research as a source of fuel. In 2025, China plans to start building a demonstration thorium-based molten-salt ...

They’re fighting over the remains of a lunch someone has left b... After a half-century hiatus, thorium has returned to the front lines of nuclear power research as a source of fuel. In 2025, China ...

We have. More specifically, it is Thorium Molten Salt Reactor (TMSR) or the Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR), the important denominator being Thorium dissolved in hot molten salt that is ...

By harnessing the superior properties of thorium while maintaining the design of natural uranium fuel bundles, ANEEL fuel dramatically enhances the performance of existing heavy water reactor systems.

And the thorium dream is becoming a reality in China, where an experimental thorium-based nuclear reactor was built in 2021. The reactor, situated in the Gobi Desert, is under constant testing ...

These reactors can adapt to a variety of nuclear fuel cycles (such as Uranium-Plutonium and Thorium-Uranium cycles), which allow for the extension of fuel resources. They can also be designed as ...

Aneel is a thorium-based fuel for pressurised heavy water reactors (PHWRs), and the deal is subject to approval from both the governments, it said. The move is aimed at NTPC's efforts to venture into ...

Joint press release by NTPC and US-based Clean Core Thorium Energy (CCTE) with an intent to explore development/deployment of “ANEEL™️” a Thorium based fuel ...

Nuclear power has been in the news with NTPC announcing a partnership with the US-based Clean Core Thorium Energy (CCTE) to develop thorium-based fuel for use in nuclear reactors. Separately, protests ...
