Thorium reactors are considered the next evolution in nuclear power, comparable to solid-state batteries. A Danish company is advancing small modular reactors designed to function as self-maintaining ...

Oak Ridge is becoming America's nuclear energy core, with TVA and Kairos Power building advanced reactors to provide power.

Abstract: A small modular reactor (SMR) is a nuclear reactor that is characterized by its smaller size and capacity when compared to traditional large-scale nuclear reactors. An SMR is often ...

Studies show that purified salts cause minimal corrosion in molten salt reactors, enabling more durable and cost-effective MSR designs.

Thorium in the fuel only serves to blunt the reactivity in the reactor resulting from high U-235 enrichment and consequent high burn-up. The U-233 resulting from the transmutation of thorium is also ...
