'Green light' given for first thorium molten salt nuclear reactor in China

#China’s 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.

'Green light' given for first thorium molten salt nuclear reactor in China

China intends to construct a nuclear reactor with a capacity of 373 MWt by 2030 if the experimental TMSR-LF1 molten salt thorium nuclear reactor succeeds.

The Principle of Wu Wei

Wu wei ( 无为) is a Chinese word which is usually translated as “not doing”.
This is a Taoist concept which has found its way into mainstream Buddhism via Zen (Chan).
It is a fundamental principle in Eastern cultures and one which mystifies and at times frustrates Westerners.

The idea is that there are times when the best action is no action. We can best deal with a situation by not reacting to it. This is alien to most Westerners who feel that a reaction is always necessary. With wu wei we are as the water when it meets the stone in the river. It flows around without directly opposing the stone. Wu wei. The water way.

“The Sage is occupied with the unspoken and acts without effort.’

– Lao Tzu, The Tao Te Ching, chapter 2

p.s.: as stated in me profile, me creek is me greatest teacher da last couple o'years... water is harder than stone!
