Last month, Chinese scientists made a major breakthrough with the experimental 2 megawatt thorium reactor in the Gobi Desert by refueling the reactor while in full operation ā a world-first
In March, China announced the discovery of a massive thorium deposit which now represents fuel that could power the country for 60,000 years. Compared to uranium, thorium is a significantly safer fuel, it is far more abundant, and it produces less nuclear waste, which could make it a game-changer in nuclear energy production.
