Thorium reactors offer a superior alternative in nuclear power, akin to solid-state batteries, yet have remained largely ...

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

The thorium isotope with the mass number 229 (229 Th) is highly exciting in many respects – for fundamental physics as well as for future applications, for example in the sense of a nuclear clock. An ...

India has an abundance of thorium reserves. A shift from uranium to thorium as part of the nuclear programme can enable the ...

(via Kyle Hill) Since the 1960s, we’ve known that light water nuclear reactors weren’t the only way to generate electricity by splitting the atom. One alternative design, so-called “molten salt ...

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), in partnership with Sandia National Laboratories, has announced the release of Thorium, an automated, scalable malware and forensic ...

India's prototype fast breeder reactor has achieved criticality, advancing the three-stage nuclear strategy. Is the country ...

The material is three to four times more abundant than uranium and produces about 250 times the amount of energy per unit of weight. So what´s the trick? The use of thorium is based on an ...
