This could give a potentially dramatic boost to China’s attempt to switch to more … Read moreHow China hopes to solve nuclear waste issue with hybrid fusion-fission reactor at top secret facility

The Bridge to Fusion: 4 Advanced Nuclear Fission Technologies

Popular Mechanics Thorium This radioactive metal is three to four times more common than uranium, and, unlike uranium, it doesn’t generate weapons-grade nuclear material after it’s burned in a reactor. (The United Stated experimented with thorium reactors as early as the 1950s, before the element lost out to uranium.) Virginia-based Lightbridge aims to capitalize on … Read moreThe Bridge to Fusion: 4 Advanced Nuclear Fission Technologies
