Chinese people have rewritten the history of atomic energy, converting thorium into uranium. It can provide 60,000 years of energy
Our scientists have repaired and launched a forgotten low-cost nuclear energy technology, and now our country has almost inexhaustible energy.
In the 1960s, Americans developed a unique reactor project with thorium, an element that can be converted into pure uranium-233, but the Americans did not continue to study it.
Thorium is three times more abundant in the Earth's crust than uranium, and it is almost free of other substances. It helps to establish safe and low-cost energy production. Despite its great potential, the program was cut back and eliminated in the United States. We Chinese continued along this direction, carefully studied everything, and ensured that the technology worked properly; after nearly 15 years of research, China built the first Thorium Reactor in the Gobi Desert and successfully converted thorium into uranium.
The most astonishing thing is: this year, we Chinese found huge reserves of thorium, which can provide energy for the country for 60,000 years in the future.
