Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor. Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than uranium—the most common fission fuel. The system also uses molten salt ...

A new license for Clean Core Thorium Energy to sell its fuel to India could revolutionize the nation's nuclear industry.

These reactors can also consume recycled nuclear waste as part of their fuel. “Operating at atmospheric pressure, the reactors use thorium-based liquid fuel and heavy water moderation.

The ANEEL™ fuel is made of thorium and high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU), developed for use in pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs) and Canada deuterium uranium (CANDU) reactors. This ...

PLN, meanwhile, has conditionally included the use of thorium molten salt reactors in its National Electricity Business Plan for the period spanning 2017 to 2026.

Scientists in China have refuelled a thorium reactor on the fly for the first time. The breakthrough is paving the way for working reactors that are significantly safer than conventional alternatives.

The glowing blue core of the Advanced Test Reactor at Idaho National Laboratory. CHICAGO, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clean Core Thorium Energy (CCTE) announces the second major milestone ...

Clean Core Thorium Energy was granted an export licence last week to commercialise the fuel based in thorium, of which India has vast reserves. Firm is now looking for regulatory approvals.

India's target is to generate 100 GW of nuclear energy capacity by 2047, and US-based Clean Core Thorium Energy seems to have ...

Clean Core Thorium Energy, a Chicago-based company developing thorium-based nuclear fuel, says new tests hit a milestone in the element’s energy output being more efficient than uranium.  The ...

Norwegian energy developer Ocean-Power and Danish nuclear technology company Copenhagen Atomics have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly study the potential for producing electricity and ...
