China launches the THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTOR! How big is the technical lead?

China is planning a revolution in nuclear energy: The world's first commercial thorium molten salt reactor is scheduled to go into operation in 2025! But what is behind this futuristic technology and could it really be the solution to our energy problems? In this video, we delve into the fascinating world of thorium reactors, explain how they work and why they may be safer and more efficient than conventional nuclear power plants. We shed light on the advantages and disadvantages of this technology and ask ourselves whether it has the potential to revolutionize the global energy landscape. At the same time, we take a critical look at the challenges and open questions associated with this new form of nuclear energy. Is the thorium molten salt reactor the long-awaited breakthrough in nuclear energy or just another empty promise? Dive with me into this exciting future technology and form your own opinion!
