From the world’s first in-reactor thorium breeding confirmation to a dual PWR-HTGR plant and commercial supercritical CO₂ ...

Thorium reactors are positioned as a superior alternative in nuclear power, similar to solid-state batteries. A Danish ...

By fully operationalising the thorium fuel cycle, India can insulate itself from global turbulence, reduce external ...

Indian scientists and international experts are divided over a study questioning the viability of a nuclear reactor fuel called HALEU-thorium; while critics cite safety risks, proponents argue the ...

India holds the world’s largest thorium reserves, and thorium use not only offers energy independence but also virtually eliminates proliferation risk ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The thorium crystal. The core element of the experiment: a crystal containing thorium atoms. (CREDIT: TU Wien) Scientists have ...

A study by BARC scientists has concluded that HALEU-Thorium fuel is unsuitable for India's nuclear reactors, requiring costly ...

Thorium in the fuel only serves to blunt the reactivity in the reactor resulting from high U-235 enrichment and consequent high burn-up. The U-233 resulting from the transmutation of thorium is also ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have demonstrated a new kind of vacuum ultraviolet laser that is 100 to 1,000 times more efficient than existing technologies of its kind. The ...

A team of physicists has discovered a surprisingly simple way to build nuclear clocks using tiny amounts of rare thorium. By electroplating thorium onto steel, they achieved the same results as years ...
