First planned small #nuclear #reactor plant in the US has been canceled
With the price of renewables dropping precipitously, however, the project's economics have worsened. Some of the initial backers started pulling out of the project earlier in the decade, although the numbers continued to fluctuate in the ensuing years.

'Green light' given for first thorium molten salt nuclear reactor in China
#Chinaās Ministry of #Ecology and #Environment has approved the commissioning of an experimental molten salt #thorium #nuclear #reactor in #Wuwei City.
If successful, the TMSR-LF1 has the potential to open doors for developing and constructing a more extensive demonstration facility by 2030. Additionally, it could lead to constructing a #TMSR fuel salt batch pyro-process demonstration facility, which would enable the utilization of the thorium-uranium cycle by the early 2040s.

Duke Energy Could Power Purdue with Nuclear Project
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are widely considered the best technology to increase the use of nuclear power worldwide, with advocates touting their zero-emission production of electricity, smaller land footprint, and scalability. SMRs also offer a cost savings over construction of new utility-scale nuclear reactors.
