China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment has approved the commissioning of an experimental molten salt thorium nuclear reactor in Wuwei City.
. It runs on a combination of thorium and uranium-235, enriched at 19.75 percent by weight, and can operate at a maximum temperature of 650C for up to 10 years. The liquid fuel design is based on the Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment conducted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the 1960s., the reactor aims to test pyro-processing, refueling, and continuous gas removal techniques, study the stability and safety of its operation, and experiment with a thorium-uranium fuel cycle.
According to the NNSA, SINAP must prioritize safety while operating TMSR-LF1. They must comply with operating license regulations and permit conditions to ensure the safe operation of the reactor. Although construction of the reactor was initially expected to be finished in 2024, it was completed earlier in August 2021 due to accelerated work.Last August, SINAP received the Ministry of Ecology and Environment's approval to commission the TMSR-LF1 reactor.
