What if the future of energy has been sitting unused on the periodic table for decades? Mike Anderson, author of “Thorium-Powered Abundance,” believes it has. He talked with Jack Spencer on a recent ...

A thorium-fueled reactor is the latest idea being revived after getting shelved in the mid-20th century. China has once again beat everyone else to a clean energy milestone—its new nuclear reactor is ...

The United States should focus on deploying uranium-based reactors now, but build its nuclear industrial base in a way that ...

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 ...

What if the key to solving the world’s energy crisis has been hiding in plain sight, buried within the Earth’s crust? Imagine an energy source that is not only abundant and efficient but also safer ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A recently declassified report has revealed that China may have far more thorium than previously estimated. The radioactive metal, ...

The starting point is stunning enough to seem almost mythological: a giant thorium reserve discovered at the Bayan Obo mining complex in Inner Mongolia. Chinese geological teams confirmed that the ...

Denmark's Copenhagen Atomics has signed a Letter of Intent with Rare Earths Norway to secure future access to thorium - the key fertile material in its molten salt reactor technology - extracted from ...
