Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor. Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than uranium—the most common fission fuel. The system also uses molten salt instead of ...

This agreement expands RadioMedix’s access to essential 228 Th resources, strengthening the Company’s 212 Pb pipeline and generator platform for its long-term Targeted Alpha Therapy strategy HOUSTON, ...

Physicists have been hoping for this moment for a long time: For many years, scientists all around the world have been searching for a very specific state of thorium atomic nuclei that promises ...

Bruce Nuclear Generating Station, with its eight CANDU pressurized heavy-water reactors, is an ideal plant to use the ANEEL advanced nuclear fuel. It’s located near Kincardine, Ontario on the eastern ...

As a medical isotope, thorium-228 has a lot of potential – and Oak Ridge National Laboratory produces a lot. That’s one reason ORNL researchers are especially excited about studies looking at ...

For the past several months, a friend of mine has been telling me about the potentially game-changing implications of an obscure (at least to me) metal named Thorium after the Norse god of thunder, ...

Studies of materials on the surface of Vesta offer new evidence that the giant asteroid is the source of howardite, eucrite and diogenite (HED) basaltic meteorites, supporting current models of solar ...

Uranium-Thorium dating is a way of determining the age of a rock by the amount of radioactive Thorium it contains. This method can be used to determine the age of calcium carbonate materials, such as ...
