Secret NEW Thorium Reactor Provides Energy For Over A 1000 Years!
China’s first liquid salt thorium reactor is expected to come online soon, while India even wants to shift its entire nuclear economy on thorium. These developments could increase the share of nuclear energy in the global electricity mix and contribute to the sustainable development goals.
One of the most promising areas of research and development is the use of thorium as a fuel for nuclear reactors.
China was the first to make a breakthrough in its quest to harness the power of thorium, a radioactive element that could offer a cleaner and more abundant alternative to uranium, the conventional nuclear fuel. In August 2021, China announced that it had completed the construction of its first experimental thorium-based nuclear reactor, located in the remote Gobi Desert in the north of the country. The reactor, which uses liquid salt as a coolant and a moderator, will undergo testing for several years before it can be connected to the grid. If the experiment proves successful, China plans to build another reactor that could generate enough electricity for more than 100 000 homes.
