The Futurist reported in early 2024 that Germany, a nation known for its groundbreaking technological feats, is now at the forefront of a nuclear revolution that could completely change the future of our entire planet! The fact that Germany was the first country to abandon nuclear energy has led to an unexpected yet enlightening outcome.

China also is Developing Thorium Reactors.(Mid-2023)
The ongoing war in Ukraine and sanctions against cheap Russian gas have pushed the country into a severe energy crisis, posing challenges to the country's economy and calling into question its nuclear phase-out. However, though Germany is phasing out (likely just shuttering) nuclear power, the nation is still leading in nuclear technologies. And now, it is witnessing the dawn of next-generation nuclear technologies with its latest thorium reactor breakthrough.
While traditional nuclear plants use a more than 50-year-old Technology based on uranium, the next generation of nuclear reactors is harnessing #Thorium, an element much more powerful and abundant than uranium. With only one ton of Thorium, it is possible to generate the same amount of energy as with 200 tons of Uranium, and a dangerous meltdown is physically impossible! But what makes this new reactor truly amazing is the fact that it can burn nuclear waste.
By untapping this resource and commercializing nuclear waste, this new thorium liquid fluoride thorium reactor could supply our entire world with clean and safe nuclear energy for up to 1000 years!
[Note: The above claims need to validated regarding the progress of thorium molten salt reactor development as well as the claims concerning the seriousness of nuclear waste storage, which has been shown to be less than claimed (here) (here) (here)]
