China Unveils World’s 1st ‘Meltdown Proof’ Thorium Reactor
Chinese scientists have achieved a significant milestone in clean energy tech after successfully adding fresh fuel to an operational thorium molten salt reactor, Chinese state media has reported. According to Guangming Daily, the 2-megawatt experimental reactor is located in the Gobi Desert, and the latest milestone puts China at the forefront in the race to build a practical thorium reactor–long considered a more abundant and safer alternative …
Chinese researchers have succeeded in adding thorium to an operating molten salt reactor.
In the Gobi Desert, a type of reactor based on decades-old U.S. plans is being explored. It is an experimental thorium liquid salt reactor that has now reached decisive operational targets. It is a success that could have a signaling effect for the energy industry. At a meeting of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it was officially confirmed that the reactor has mastered key technologies. Image: SINAP Progress in "alter" Reactor technology The re…
If America won't build the future, China will gladly do it
While the US is lobotomizing itself by purging scientists and starving universities of research grants, our main competitor, China, is forging ahead.China has announced the completion of TMSR-LF1, a two-megawatt nuclear power plant fueled by thorium. According to Chinese state media, the reactor reached its full power last year, and this month Chinese engineers achieved a milestone by reloading it with fresh fuel while it was running. The countr…
