For the past several months, a friend of mine has been telling me about the potentially game-changing implications of an obscure (at least to me) metal named Thorium after the Norse god of thunder, ...

CCTE's ANEEL fuel revolutionizes India's nuclear energy landscape by enhancing thorium use and reducing uranium dependency.

This is a story not of India's failure at thorium science but an unfinished job — that could have unlocked a goldmine. There ...

According to nuclear scientist Anil Kakodkar, given that India is able to build large PHWR capacity with imported uranium as ...

NTPC is exploring a minority stake in US-based Clean Core Thorium Energy to support its nuclear expansion plans, subject to ...

A Norwegian company led by Alf Bjørseth will start burning thorium fuel in a conventional test reactor owned by Norway’s government with help from U.S.-based nuclear giant Westinghouse. Bjørseth is ...

The company is exploring collaborations with global players like Rosatom and EDF for large reactors and Holtec International ...

For humans to enjoy a clean and abundant energy future, they will need to move to energy from nuclear reactions -- which means nuclear fission, for now. Thorium is the main alternative to uranium as a ...

Nuclear technologist Kirk Sorensen has spent much of his career researching the potential of thorium fission reactors. Sorensen has recently founded a company, Flibe energy, which is dedicated to ...

Thorium reactors could be 5 times cheaper than natural gas energy, be meltdown resistant, be able to destroy old long lived radioactive waste, and involve no readily usable weapons grade material. The ...

Norway holds a resource of 170,000 tonnes of thorium, which amounts to 15% of the world’s total of 1.2 million tonnes. There is far more thorium than that within the earth’s crust all told, averaging ...
