One gram of thorium is equal to roughly 7,500 gallons ... advances to be made in atomic technology before any nuclear-powered car can even begin to make the jump from concept to production.

A thorium-powered car engine concept is based on the use of the radioactive material known as thorium as fuel. In principle, this engine employed a tiny measure of thorium to release heat through ...

Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor. Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than ...

Such fission processes generate high temperature which is utilized to power pistons, and thereby, they convert the car’s wheels through a mechanical energy form. The most notable advantage of using ...

During a private meeting earlier this month, researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed the successful operation of a thorium-powered nuclear reactor located in the Gobi Desert.

In the past, India, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and other countries have demonstrated enthusiasm for research into the possible application of thorium in nuclear power. The ...

The Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics - part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences - has been given approval by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment to commission an experimental thorium-powered ...

As India is home to the world’s largest reserves of thorium, its long-term nuclear power strategy culminates in exploiting this silvery, slightly radioactive metal, which is considered cleaner and ...
