China's Thorium Energy Program Progress
Therium-to-uranium conversion achieved six months later.
China has thorium reserves lasting tens of thousands of years, including 1 million tons in Bayan Obo.
Fourth-gen reactor uses molten salt coolant, water-free, low-pressure, producing uranium-233.
China produces all reactor components domestically, aiming for a 100 MW prototype by 2035.
Reactor enables safer fission with less waste and no water cooling.
