Could Thorium Offer Long-Term Potential As A Nuclear Energy Source?
Nuclear energy is a controversial subject for many people. Although traditional nuclear energy, derived from uranium or ...
New nuclear fission technology is being developed but over 50 nuclear reactors involves over $200 billion of development. China is developing over $100 billion of new nuclear fission power. China can ...
- The waste products from a thorium reactor are far less dangerous than those of a uranium reactor - The thorium fuel can be made into some kind of gel-like substance that is essentially its own ...
Asia has become the global fulcrum of nuclear energy growth, counting 145 operational reactors and 45 under construction in the region. The enviable growth of the continent and the subsequent capacity ...
At a test site in Norway, Thor Energy has successfully created a thorium nuclear reactor -- but not in the sense that most people think of when they hear the word thorium. The Norwegians haven't ...
In 1980, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) observed that protactinium, a chemical element generated in thorium reactors, could be separated and allowed to decay to isotopically pure ...
