China’s Thorium Molten-Salt Reactor:
China has constructed and operationalized a thorium molten-salt reactor in the Gobi desert, marking a significant advancement in nuclear technology. This reactor successfully powers two megawatts and can be reloaded while operational. The United States, focusing on uranium-based nuclear power, must consider thorium reactors to keep pace with evolving technologies like pebble bed and small modular reactors, and deemphasize the distant pursuit of fusion which remains decades away. Thorium reactors are a promising component of future energy solutions.

Lucem News Editor’s Opinion: It’s a good bet much of the technology involved in these Thorium Reactors was invented in the US and stolen by Communist China. But we have to hand it to them, they got it working before the US even began. The idea seems like the US should use government assistance to help private industry to make this happen here as well. Wake up call noted.
