Category:Thorium Reactor

From KB42

Thorium reactors are nuclear power systems that use thorium-232 to breed uranium-233, a fissile fuel that sustains the nuclear chain reaction. Unlike traditional uranium reactors, the most prominent thorium designs, such as molten salt reactors (MSRs), dissolve the fuel in a liquid salt mixture, allowing for continuous refueling without shutting down the reactor and operating at atmospheric pressure, which significantly reduces the risk of meltdowns.
