Molten salt cooled reactors are “intrinsically safe,” said James Wishart, Distinguished Chemist at BNL and director of the ...

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 ...

Abilene Christian University and Texas A&M are leading what could be a resurgence in nuclear power in Texas. The long-dormant ...

What if the next big thing in nuclear energy was a dusty old idea from the Cold War era? Once considered to power nuclear bombers, Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are in the spotlight, promising safer, ...

Chinese scientists have refuelled an experimental thorium-fueled molten salt reactor continuously without shutting it down.

Chinese scientists achieved a breakthrough in clean energy technology by adding fresh fuel to an operational thorium reactor.

This marks the first time anyone has successfully reloaded fuel in an operational thorium molten salt reactor (MSR) without ...

In a remote region of the Gobi Desert, China has successfully launched a nuclear experiment that could alter the global energy landscape. Chinese scientists have achieved what no other country has: ...
