Thu, April 24, 2025 at 6:00 PM UTC 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 ...

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 ...

India holds the world's largest thorium reserves, and developing technologies to use them could not only strengthen energy security but also reduce proliferation risks ...

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

Scientists at the Nuclear Research and Consultancy Group (NRG) the Netherlands, are looking back to the 1970s to meet the energy needs of the future. For the first time since 1976, the NRG team is ...

Why aren’t we using thorium in nuclear reactors, given the possibility of a meltdown is nearly zero and the waste cannot be used to make bombs? — Dennis Dorando, Concord, Calif. In a word: precedent.

Atomic clocks that excite the nucleus of thorium-229 embedded in a transparent crystal when hit by a laser beam could yield the most accurate measurements ever of time and gravity, and even rewrite ...

For the past several months, a friend of mine has been telling me about the potentially game-changing implications of an obscure (at least to me) metal named Thorium after the Norse god of thunder, ...

Talk of a large-scale U.S. nuclear renaissance in the post-Three Mile Island era has long been stalled by the high cost of new nuclear power plants, the challenges of safeguarding weapons-grade ...

The world's growing need for energy, the limits of our supply of fossil fuels and concern about the effects of carbon emissions on the environment have all prompted interest in the increased use of ...

NASA’s Lunar Prospector spacecraft mapped lunar elements while orbiting the Moon in 1998 and 1999. Now, a team of scientists led by David Lawrence at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico has ...
