China Fires Up World's First Thorium-Powered Nuclear Reactor
Months after satellites picked up a massive nuclear fusion facility in China's Sichuan province, the country's nuclear industry has blown the lid off fission tech. During a private meeting earlier this month, researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed the successful operation of a thorium-powered nuclear reactor located in the Gobi Desert. The team had achieved "full-power operation" last June, according to South China Morning Post,…
It doesn't necessarily have to be uranium. In the Gobi desert, China has put the world's only thorium reactor into operation as a test reactor – and it works. A much safer alternative for nuclear power since nuclear fusion is impossible. Because thorium reactors, especially LFTRs (liquid fluoride thorium reactors), use the readily available element thorium-232, which can be transformed into uranium-233, are considered as important future technol…
