A sample of thorium. Thorium-based nuclear power generation is fueled primarily by the nuclear fission of the isotope uranium-233 produced from the fertile element thorium.A thorium fuel cycle can offer several potential advantages over a uranium fuel cycle [Note 1] —including the much greater abundance of thorium found on Earth, superior physical and nuclear fuel properties, and reduced ...

Copenhagen Atomics is a Danish molten salt technology company developing mass manufacturable molten-salt reactors.The company is pursuing small modular, molten fuel salt, thorium fuel cycle, thermal spectrum, breeder reactors using separated plutonium from spent nuclear fuel as the initial fissile load for the first generation of reactors.
In 2021, China stated that Wuwei prototype operation could start power generation from thorium in September, [62] with a prototype providing energy for around 1,000 homes. [63] It is the world's first nuclear molten-salt reactor after the Oak Ridge project.
Nearly a month after Microsoft bet $16 billion on reviving the defunct Three Mile Island nuclear plant to power its energy-hungry data centers, Google and now Amazon are inking massive deals to ...
Oklo’s business model is based on commercializing nuclear fission, the reaction that fuels all nuclear power plants. Instead of conventional reactors, the company aims to use mini nuclear ...
