< P > As reported by the State Guangming Daily newspaper, the chief scientific supervisor of the project Sui Hunzze announced this achievement at a closed meeting at the Chinese Academy of Sciences on April 8, & nbsp; Nbsp; Nbsp; Nbsp; Interesting Engineering. The scientist believes that China is now leading in the world energy market.
< p >He recalled that in the 1960s, American researchers built and tested the first reactors in molten salt, but eventually the United States laid out a program in favor of Uranus technologies. American scientists have left their research public and Chinese used data to create their own settings.
< P > The Xu Huntzze and his team at the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics CAS studied declassified American documents, recreated old experiments, and then improved technology. Construction of the current reactor began in 2018 and the team increased from several dozen researchers to more than 400.
< p > “We have mastered each record of records & mdash; and then advanced further”, & mdash; said the Chinese Project Head.
< p >The experimental reactor, located in the Gobi Desert in China, uses molten salt as a fuel carrier and cooler, and a radioactive element of torium as a source of energy. As they say in China, the reactor is designed for stable generation 2 megawatts of thermal energy. In China, a larger reactor is being built on molten Toriy salt, which is planned to reach maximum power by 2030 and produce 10 electricity megawatts.~ < P > This is the first time of long -term and stable operation of this technology, which brings China to the leading positions in the world race for the use of Toria in nuclear energy, which is considered a safer and more common alternative to uranium. This substance is widespread in the earth's crust and produces less long -lived radioactive waste.
< P > its by -products are also less suitable for use as a weapon that reduces the risks of safety. In combination with molten salt technology, the reactor structure works at atmospheric pressure and naturally limits overheating, increasing overall safety. Such features make Toria reactors attractive in the world that seeks clean and safe energy sources.
< P > how & nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; south china morning post, some experts consider this technology as the next energy revolution and claim that only one rich in the inner Mongolian is a potential to meet the need. waste.
