Interest grows in thorium molten salt reactors that burn nuclear waste
Original: A 'sideways' move into Thorium Molten Salt Reactor tech... # TMSR # nuclear # energy # EnergyTransition https:// interes
Discussion is building around thorium molten salt reactor technology after a report on reactors designed to run on nuclear waste as fuel. Commenters in energy and climate circles describe the development as a sideways but promising step for nuclear power, with proponents arguing the technology could reduce long-lived waste and support the energy transition.
Why now: A new report on thorium reactors that consume nuclear waste has sparked fresh debate about next-generation nuclear energy.
