“The United States left its publicly notable research, waiting for the correct successor, we were that successor,” said Xu Hongjie, a prominent Chinese nuclear physicist at the Institute of Applied Physics of Shanghai, to Guangingy. He said after China revived a molten salt reactor with American-thorium-long long-graded nuclear technology.
India has the largest reserves in the world of a million tons, particularly in its coastal sands rich in Monazita. According to the three -stage nuclear program provided by the nuclear scientist Dr. Homi Bhabha, the country would use Torio when he reaches the third stage. After 70 years of independence, India has not yet begun in the second stage.
However, China quickly collected the technology that the Americans left on the table and created a secret installation in the Gobi desert, near the border with Mongolia. It is a small 2MW installation, but enough to catapult China in a Torio regime.
The reactor, a small experimental system capable of reposting while operating, was a recent one that brought significant progress in the reinvention of the future of nuclear energy. Designed not ready for commercial use, he points out a global change towards next -generation nuclear technologies.
The United States explored Torio reactors, special molten salt types, in the 1960s before stretching them in favor of uranium -based designs. Now, while the world faces the twin challenges of climate change and energy security, the thorium is returning. Torio reactors offer multiple advantages: less radioactive waste, more fuel efficiency and lower risk of proliferation of nuclear weapons.
