This accelerating technology and underutilized resource could reshape global energy geopolitics — meet the molten-salt ...

These plants are expected to replace two ageing thermal power stations currently operated by the utility. The project forms part of Maharashtra’s broader strategy to secure reliable baseload power ...

Concerns raised over NTPC’s proposed use of US-based thorium fuel in PHWRs and its impact on self-reliance and security.

Seventy years of scientific effort and billions of dollars spent have led to the first practical breakthrough in thorium nuclear fuel, but it comes from a foreign company rather than India’s research ...

The experimental TMSR-LF1 thorium-powered molten salt reactor in Wuwei, Gansu Province, has achieved the first successful conversion of thorium-uranium nuclear fuel, the Shanghai Institute of Applied ...

Last year, a UCLA-led team accomplished something scientists have been trying to do for 50 years. They made radioactive thorium nuclei absorb and emit photons like electrons in an atom do. This ...
