It is possible to recycle the U-233 decay into new fuel, or continue fueling the machine with it as is, the latter of which is usually done with molten salt reactors like this new thorium reactor.

At the heart of this effort lies thorium-229, a rare isotope with a one-of-a-kind feature: it has a nuclear state that can be triggered using laser light. While most atomic clocks rely on changes ...

229 Th is unique among all known nuclides as it allows for precise laser manipulation of nuclear quantum states. This has led to the concept of the thorium nuclear optical clock. Its superiority ...

Chinese scientists have achieved a milestone in clean energy technology by successfully adding fresh fuel to an operational thorium molten ... devastating chemical chain reactions without using ...

Unfortunately for the relatively new restaurant chain Neat Burger, the novelty of vegan burgers haven't entirely paid off. As the company experiences dire financial earnings, Neat has officially ...

This buffer, built after pandemic supply chain issues, may now cause problems with excess unwanted items. Shifting sourcing and rising costs challenge retailers, especially smaller ones.

China has activated the world’s only operational thorium molten salt reactor, marking a global breakthrough in clean nuclear energy using declassified United States research. Chinese scientists ...

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - China has activated a thorium-based nuclear reactor, or thorium molten salt reactor, and claimed it as the world's first clean nuclear energy. The reactor is located in the Gobi ...
