3. China to activate world’s first clean nuclear reactor
A Chinese government scientist has revealed plans for an experimental nuclear reactor that does not require water to cool. This reactor uses liquid thorium instead of uranium.and is expected to be safer than conventional reactors. The molten salt, when exposed to air, cools and solidifies quickly and thus insulates the thorium, allowing much less exposure to the environment in any potential leaks than leaks from conventional reactors. Radiation can spread. The prototype reactor is expected to be completed in August and the first tests will begin in September. The test will pave the way for the construction of the first commercial reactor that is scheduled for construction by 2030. Since this type of reactor does not require water, it will be able to operate in desert areas. The desert city of Wuwei has been chosen as the location of the first reactor, And the Chinese government is planning to build more such reactors in the plains and deserts of western China. A team from the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics has developed this prototype.
