“The United States has publicly available and waited for the right successor – we were this successor,” said Xu Hongjie, a prominent Chinese atomic physicist at the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, recently the Guangming Daily. He said that after China, this revived a long-oriented American nuclear technology-with thorium-supported moldal salt reactor.

India has the largest thorough reserves of the world-a million tons of in the monazentship of Küstensand. According to the three -stage nuclear program that the core scientist Dr. Homi Bhabha provides for the state of Thorium if it came to the third stage. After 70 years of independence, India has still not started in the second stage.

However, China quickly took up the technology left on the table by the Americans and created a secret facility in the Gobi desert near the Mongolian border. It is a small 2 -MW facility, but enough to catapult China to a thorale regime.

The reactor – a small, experimental system that can recharge your batteries was recently brought online, which marked considerable progress in the new interpretation of the future of nuclear energy. Although it is not ready for commercial use, it signals a global shift towards the next generation core technologies.

The United States examined thorough reactors in the 1960s, in particular melted salt types, before they provided them in favor of uranium -based designs. Now that the world faces the twin challenges of climate change and energy safety, Thorium celebrates a comeback. Thorium reactors offer several advantages: less radioactive waste, more fuel efficiency and a lower risk of proliferation of nuclear weapons.

Rather so
