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 ...

China has announced a major breakthrough in advanced nuclear energy. It has successfully achieved the first-ever conversion of thorium into uranium fuel within a Thorium Molten Salt Reactor (TMSR).

China’s experimental thorium molten salt reactor has reportedly achieved sustained thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion, marking a major scientific first. The breakthrough could ease China’s dependence ...

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 ...

China is poised to lead the world in nuclear generation, and is emerging as a major new competitor in global nuclear exports.

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 ...

Asia has become the global fulcrum of nuclear energy growth, counting 145 operational reactors and 45 under construction in the region. The enviable growth of the continent and the subsequent capacity ...
