The Natura Resources MSR-1, a liquid-fueled molten salt reactor was licensed last year by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ...

Thorium reactors, particularly liquid fluoride thorium reactors (LFTRs), prioritize safety with passive mechanisms, reduced operational risks, and scalability for diverse environments.

In the quest to generate limitless clean energy, China has just taken a step closer. Scientists have achieved the milestone of reloading fuel to an nuclear fission reactor while running.

In January 2011, CAS launched a CNY3 billion (USD444 million) R&D programme on liquid fluoride thorium reactors (LFTRs), known there as the thorium-breeding molten-salt reactor (Th-MSR or TMSR), and ...

The Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has been granted an operating licence for the experimental TMSR-LF1 thorium-powered molten-salt reactor, construction of ...

Could thorium be the answer to nuclear waste concerns? Sorensen, who is a retired NASA engineer, came to the Steel City from Huntsville, Alabama, to speak about Lithium Fluoride Thorium Reactors ...

Their work in the 1950s and 1960s showed that a revolutionary type of reactor using liquid fluoride salts could safely and efficiently unlock the energy-generating potential of thorium.

China has officially approved commissioning the "Thorium Molten Salt Reactor - Liquid Fuel 1" (TMSR-LF1), a significant achievement in their pursuit of clean and efficient nuclear energy.

"The thorium-fueled molten salt experimental reactor operation application and related technical documents were reviewed, and it was considered that the application met the relevant safety ...
