Now that we can access uranium from the international market, the thermal reactor capacity is on a growth path. This scale-up ...

The second stage uses this plutonium in fast breeder reactors to multiply fuel and prepare the ground for the final phase — ...

Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor. Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than uranium—the most common fission fuel. The system also uses molten salt instead of ...

Maharashtra is advancing plans to build India's first commercial thorium-based nuclear power plants, a significant shift in ...

These plants are expected to replace two ageing thermal power stations currently operated by the utility. The project forms part of Maharashtra’s broader strategy to secure reliable baseload power ...

A team of physicists has discovered a surprisingly simple way to build nuclear clocks using tiny amounts of rare thorium. By electroplating thorium onto steel, they achieved the same results as years ...
