On September 6 the Thorizon project was officially launched during a kickoff event in Amsterdam. For the past few years, the Thorizon team has been working behind the scenes on a new and improved Thorium Molten Salt Reactor design. From the very start they aimed to turn the problems often associated to nuclear power into

Wuwei – 9 September 2021 – Scientists are excited about an experimental nuclear reactor using thorium as fuel, which is about to begin tests in China. Although this radioactive element has been trialled in reactors before, experts say that China is the first to have a shot at commercializing the technology. The reactor is unusual

While the LFTR reactor design is one out of many possible concepts for molten salt reactors, it is further detailed here because it is an example of a true “thorium-MSR” (MSR using thorium fuel) and therefore comes with the full benefits of molten salt reactors and the thorium fuel cycle. It is considered by many
