🚀 This molten salt reactor, situated in the Gobi Desert, operates differently from traditional reactors as it doesn't use uranium. Instead, it harnesses thorium-232, which is more plentiful and safer. Thorium reactors can function at elevated temperatures without the need for high pressure, which minimizes the risk of meltdowns and generates less radioactive waste. Interestingly, this innovation isn't entirely new; the technology has its roots in declassified U.S. research from the 1960s. Unfortunately, political and commercial challenges stalled its progress in the U.S. However, China has taken the initiative to revive and enhance this technology, achieving a remarkable milestone by refueling the reactor while it remains operational.
