American scientists pioneered molten salt reactor technology – including building a small test reactor in the 1960s – but the project was shelved in favour of uranium-based systems. “The US left its research publicly available, waiting for the right successor,” Xu was quoted as saying. “We were that successor.”
Absolute banger
China’s state-owned shipbuilding industry has also unveiled a design for thorium-powered container ships that could potentially achieve emission-free maritime transport.
They’ll definitely go to war with China to stop this
China would win.
Good, let China destroy the petulant child nation they built.
This is incredible news! If they can reliably inject fuel mid-operation, then that solves a huge barrier for molten salt reactors.
Oh they’re just doing that to make life better, more sustainable, or cheaper, or something else, but at what cost, under the despotic regime.
Thor is Chinese now
