Why China Is Building a Thorium Molten-Salt Reactor
China plans to build a thorium-based molten salt reactor in the Gobi Desert in 2025, marking a significant advancement in nuclear power research. Managed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the 10-MW reactor could be operational by 2030 and would provide s...
The technology has been developed for decades but trillions of $'s are saying no.

Man this would be the shit. Is it not actually viable to implement?
It has no real advantages. It must be bred into U-233 in order for it to work. Raw thorium won't run a reactor. And the trace contaminants of U-232 make it hazardous to handle. Down the road, it can be useful as a kind of "hamburger helper" to extend our fissionable resources.

We can't allow a Thorium gap!

Well damn. I had to look up that reference. LOL
100% - It has be communicated in the US Debt Clock as one of the assets that will back the Treasury dollar and symbolically shown as an energy source.
How legit is the US Debt Clock? Musk has referenced it lately a couple of times as in the clue who owns the site. John G. Warner.... J (10) G(7) = 17. Name is similar to the Nashville Dec 2020 RV AT&T data centre "bomber"
A. Q. Warner.... LOL. Could be a coincidence or not.
I don't think that bombs can be produced using lithium, but they can remediate nuclear waste.
Thorium generates an estimated 200 times more energy than uranium, according to the World Nuclear Association. China’s thorium molten-salt reactor plant started construction in the Gobi Desert last year, which is expected to be completed in 2029. It is estimated to have a generating capacity of 10 megawatts of electricity. Source: Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research and Design Institute. The Chinese have made some recent bold and glowing assertions about all this recently. Some do not share the enthusiasm see https://energyskeptic.com/2025/thorium-not-a-near-term-commercial-nuclear-fuel/ “According to estimates, the Earth's upper crust contains an average of 10.5 parts per million (ppm) of thorium, compared with about 3 ppm of uranium (China claims to have found a solution to this but offered no further explanation))… However, there are several economic and technical obstacles making the deployment of thorium challenging. Despite its abundance, the metal is currently expensive to extract” (think diesel needed). https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news/thoriums-long-term-potential-in-nuclear-energy-new-iaea-analysis An all thorium electricity generation strategy does not negate other known electricity supply chain challenges see https://www.powermag.com/five-dynamic-factors-reshaping-the-power-sector-supply-chain/ and https://www.iea.org/reports/energy-technology-perspectives-2023/clean-energy-supply-chains-vulnerabilities
Thorium is only usable as uranium (U-233), so the opening statement is trying to say something else. There is much more thorium available in the world than uranium, sure enough.
