China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment has approved the commissioning of an experimental molten salt thorium nuclear reactor in Wuwei City.

#China #Thorium Image
1. Thorium is more abundant in nature than uranium. It is fertile rather than fissile and can only be used as a fuel in conjunction with a fissile material such as recycled plutonium.
Thorium fuels can breed fissile uranium-233 to be used in various kinds of nuclear reactors.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2. It is possible but quite difficult to design thorium fuels that produce more U-233 in thermal reactors than the fissile material they consume (this is referred to as having a fissile conversion ratio of more than 1.0 and is also called breeding). Thermal breeding with thorium… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3. The thorium fuel cycle is promoted as having excellent non-proliferation credentials. The USA produced about 2 tonnes of U-233 from thorium during the ‘Cold War’, at various levels of chemical and isotopic purity, in plutonium production reactors.
4. It is possible to use U-233 in a nuclear weapon, and in 1955 the USA detonated a device with a plutonium-U-233 composite pit, in Operation Teapot. The explosive yield was less than anticipated, at 22 kilotons.
5. In 1998, India detonated a very small device based on U-233 called Shakti V. However, the production of U-233 inevitably also yields U-232 which is a strong gamma-emitter, as are some decay products such as thallium-208 ('thorium C'), making the material extremely difficult to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

2. Concept of Shrishti and Pralaya - The Cycle of Time
The cosmos follows one cycle within a framework of cycles. It may have been created and reached an end, but it represents only one turn in the perpetual Kalachakra, the "wheel of time", which revolves infinitely through… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

Scientists of the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG) have developed a new model for radio wave propagation through the ionosphere.

#India #communication twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
1. The ionosphere is a region of Earth’s upper atmosphere ranging from about 100 - 1000 km and acts as a gateway for radio communication between the ground and space. Radio waves of certain frequencies (HF band) are reflected back to the ground by the ionosphere which facilitates… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2. Despite the increasing use of satellite communications, traditional long-distance high-frequency (HF) radio communication, remains an important mode of communication during the situations like natural disasters, mid-ocean surveillance, over-the-horizon target detection, and so… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The U.S. Is Paying Billions to Russia’s Nuclear Agency

1. The United States’ reliance on nuclear power is forecasted to grow as the country aims to decrease reliance on fossil fuels.
And it's a public secret that US nuclear power companies rely on cheap enriched uranium made in… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
1. American companies are paying around $1 billion a year to Russia’s state-owned nuclear agency to buy the fuel that generates more than half of the United States’ emissions-free energy.
2. The enriched uranium payments are made to subsidiaries of Rosatom, which in turn is closely intertwined with Russia’s military apparatus.
