China has unveiled its first-ever molten thorium salt reactor designed to power large ships groundbreaking step in clean and safe nuclear energy.
Unlike traditional uranium reactors, this advanced system does not require water for cooling, making it safer, more efficient, and suitable for marine environments.
The molten thorium fuel, created by melting thorium metal with specific salt compounds, generates stable energy with less radioactive waste and reduced risk of meltdown. Experts say this innovation could transform global shipping by providing long-lasting power without harmful emissions.
It also reflects China’s growing leadership in advanced nuclear technology and commitment to greener, more sustainable solutions for the future.
