China is planning the world’s first molten salt thorium reactor — a potential 60,000-year limitless energy breakthrough transforming global nuclear technology

XChina’s discovery of a limitless energy source, thorium, could mark a turning point in global nuclear technology. The breakthrough, made at the Bayan Obo mining complex, revealed an extraordinary 1 million tonnes of thorium, a resource that may supply China’s energy needs for an astounding 60,000 years. This discovery not only promises to revolutionise sustainable energy but also comes at a time when the nation is aggressively exploring innovative solutions to meet rising global energy demands.

At the heart of this development is an extensive geological survey that has mapped 233 thorium-rich zones across the country. Such
