China Closing in on a Thorium Nuclear Reactor

With prototype reportedly firing up in September, country teases commercial thorium power by 2030

By Prachi Patel for IEEE Spectrum August 4, 2021

“There is no denying the need for nuclear power in a world that hungers for clean, carbon-free energy. At the same time, there's a need for safer technologies that bear less proliferation risk. Molten salt nuclear reactors (MSRs) fit the bill—and, according to at least one source, China may be well on their way to developing MSR technology.”
