Scientists at the Nuclear Research and Consultancy Group (NRG) the Netherlands, are looking back to the 1970s to meet the energy needs of the future. For the first time since 1976, the NRG team is ...
Take 1970s technology, add perhaps $3 billion of R&D over 15 to 20 years for a trillion dollar per year potential energy market. Molten Salt Reactors are one of six next generation designs chosen by ...
What if the key to solving the world’s energy crisis has been hiding in plain sight, buried within the Earth’s crust? Imagine an energy source that is not only abundant and efficient but also safer ...
We took a look at the element tritium a short time ago. A "high octane" and ultra-rare nuclear isotope of which we have a global supply you could fit in an XL-sized suitcase. A supply that small could ...
"Reintroducing Thorium" was extremely interesting (C&EN, Nov. 16, 2009, page 44). Judging from this article, thorium has tremendous potential to provide the energy that society desperately needs ...
