New Delhi should go ahead and invite foreign investment in nuclear power plants, amending Indian laws for it. Small modular ...

China launches the world's first operational thorium reactor, while India accelerates its own thorium-powered nuclear ...

After years of research and US data analysis, China has built a working thorium reactor and run it through a successful fuel ...

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

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are revolutionizing the nuclear ... as the molten salt can operate at lower pressures and higher temperatures. Thorium-based MSRs are particularly promising due ...

Maharashtra on Friday signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Russia's state-owned company ROSATOM for development of a Small Modular Reactor based on thorium fuel.

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 ...

Chinese scientists achieved a breakthrough in clean energy technology by adding fresh fuel to an operational thorium reactor. The 2-megawatt experimental reactor is located in the Gobi Desert.
