On November 1, reporters were informed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences that the 2-megawatt liquid-fuel thorium-based molten salt experimental reactor, under the leadership of its Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, has recently achieved a significant milestone. For the first time, it successfully accomplished thorium-uranium nuclear fuel conversion and gathered experimental data following the introduction of thorium into the molten salt reactor for operation. Presently, this experimental reactor stands as the sole molten salt reactor in operation worldwide that has successfully incorporated thorium fuel. This achievement has preliminarily validated the technical feasibility of harnessing thorium resources within molten salt reactor nuclear energy systems.
