By fully operationalising the thorium fuel cycle, India can insulate itself from global turbulence, reduce external ...

Indian scientists and international experts are divided over a study questioning the viability of a nuclear reactor fuel called HALEU-thorium; while critics cite safety risks, proponents argue the ...

A study by BARC scientists has concluded that HALEU-Thorium fuel is unsuitable for India's nuclear reactors, requiring costly ...

The U.S. Department of Energy will begin testing of Clean Core Thorium Energy’s advanced nuclear fuel at its Idaho National Laboratory (INL). The partnership between DOE and Clean Core represents the ...

For decades, the nuclear energy sector has been regarded as the black sheep of the alternative energy market thanks to a series of high-profile disasters such as Chernobyl, Fukushima, and Three Mile ...

Thorium reactors are considered the next evolution in nuclear power, comparable to solid-state batteries. A Danish company is ...

India holds the world’s largest thorium reserves, and thorium use not only offers energy independence but also virtually eliminates proliferation risk ...

We took a look at the element tritium a short time ago. A "high octane" and ultra-rare nuclear isotope of which we have a global supply you could fit in an XL-sized suitcase. A supply that small could ...

Dear EarthTalk: Thorium is a naturally occurring element that is supposedly more available, more efficient and safer to use than uranium for generating nuclear energy. Is this true and, if so, why ...

Bruce Nuclear Generating Station, with its eight CANDU pressurized heavy-water reactors, is an ideal plant to use the ANEEL advanced nuclear fuel. It’s located near Kincardine, Ontario on the eastern ...

Russell has a PhD in the history of medicine, violence, and colonialism. His research has explored topics including ethics, science governance, and medical involvement in violent contexts. Russell has ...

For the past 70 years or so, the idea of using thorium as an energy source for cars has come around time and again. Beginning with the concept for the 1957 Ford Nucleon that, if adopted, would have ...
