Research and Markets: Thorium-based Reactors - A New Lease of Life for Nuclear Power Development

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/s9c2lc/thoriumbased) has announced the addition of GlobalData's new report "Thorium-based Reactors - A New Lease of Life for Nuclear Power Development" to their offering.

“Thorium-based Reactors - A New Lease of Life for Nuclear Power Development”

Thorium-based reactors are expected to provide a new lease of life for nuclear power development. Abundant reserves and the unique characteristics of thorium will be prime drivers for the nuclear power industry in the years to come. Thorium technology can be a countermeasure for problems such as burgeoning power demand, anti-nuclear public concerns on nuclear safety, waste management and nuclear proliferation. Thorium-based reactors can generate a huge amount of power and produce less radioactive waste.

Additionally, they are safer for operation and supposedly proliferation resistant. The research and development of thorium-based reactors has been ongoing for the last four decades in countries such as Belgium, Brazil, China, Canada, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, India, Japan, Russia, the UK and the US. Currently, China, India and the US are in the forefront for developing this technology.
