Comparison of the minor actinide transmutation efficiency in models of a fast neutron uranium-thorium fueled reactor [PDF]
Nuclear Energy and Technology, 2022 In terms of nuclear raw materials, the issue of involving thorium in the fuel cycle is hardly very relevant. However, in view of the large-scale nuclear power development, the use of thorium seems to be quite natural and reasonable.

Thorium and fetal neural tube defects: an epidemiological evidence from large case-control study
Genes and Environment, 2021 Background Thorium is ubiquitous in the environment and its relationship with birth defects is still under discussion. This study aimed to investigate the associations of maternal exposure to thorium with risk of neural tube defects (NTDs) by using a ...

Synergistic damage behavior of He ion irradiation and molten salt corrosion in SiC at 750 °C
Journal of Advanced CeramicsCVD SiC samples exposed to 400 keV He ion irradiation at 750 °C were subsequently corroded in FLiNaK molten salt at 750 °C for 166 h. After corrosion, the dissolution of Si led to the formation of a carbon-rich layer and obvious denudation of the SiC ...
