- China successfully achieved the first-ever thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion in a Thorium Molten Salt Reactor (TMSR).
- The Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics (SINAP) confirmed valid experimental data from the reactor.
- This experiment proves that thorium can be used as nuclear fuel in molten-salt reactors.
- TMSRs use molten salt as a coolant, do not require water, and operate at atmospheric pressure.
- China has established complete and independent TMSR technology and industrial chains.
