Idaho Researchers Collaborate with US Company to Develop New Nuclear Fuel Design

Scientists announce surprising results after testing futuristic 'Holy Grail' nuclear facility: 'Like securing a seat on the only flight to the moon'

One company has achieved a breakthrough in thorium-based nuclear fuel after testing at a top-notch facility. Clean Core Thorium Energy collaborated with the Idaho National Laboratory and Texas A&M to test thorium-based nuclear fuel, per Interesting Engineering. The new model differs from standard nuclear energy because it combines thorium and high-assay, low-enriched uranium. Thorium is a slightly radioactive metal found in rock, soil, and sand,…
