Thorium was meant to power India’s energy future. The science worked, the fuel cycle was proven, yet no reactor ever followed. Now a US startup has gone commercial first. WION explains how India built the roadmap, then stalled at the final step.

A promise buried in plain sight: How Thorium, 'India's energy future,' turned into a flop

An experimental reactor developed in the Gobi Desert by the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics has achieved thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion, paving the way for an almost endless supply of nuclear energy.
