It marks the first long-term, stable operation of the technology, putting China at the forefront of a global race to harness thorium – considered a safer and more abundant alternative to uranium – for nuclear power.

The experimental reactor, located in the Gobi Desert in China’s west, uses molten salt as the fuel carrier and coolant, and thorium – a radioactive element abundant in the Earth’s crust – as the fuel source. The reactor is reportedly designed to sustainably generate 2 megawatts of thermal power.

    People on Lemmy are really good at seeing past capitalist propaganda, except when it comes to China.

    Any information coming to the West from China is state capitalist propaganda.

      Yeah yeah, keep telling yourself that buddy.

      I’m sure you also used that cope when Harvard university (that well-known Chinese university) found 95.5% of Chinese people are happy with their government, compared to only 38% of USians.

        “95.5% of people who are forced to say they like their government say they like their government”

        You should be more skeptical, anything that claims to have a 95% approval rating is probably not telling the truth.

          Forced by Harvard university? :)

          I have no issues believing that number because the Chinese standard of living has been rising substantially as the decades go. That is trivial to confirm.

          You’re the one who should be more skeptical of anything that comes from the US. As it stands you don’t believe anything that comes from China, but believe anything that comes from the US about China.

          Sounds like you should start applying more neutral standards to how you process information. The world isn’t that black or white.
