About this episode
Recently, the Chinese government has been testing a thorium nuclear reactor that uses molten salt as a coolant. Although this radioactive element has been trialed in reactors before, experts say that China is the first to have a shot at commercializing the technology. The Wuwei reactor is designed to produce just 2 megawatts of thermal energy, which is only ... Show More

Pourquoi la Corée du sud a-t-elle créé un « soleil artificiel » ?
Plusieurs projets de réacteurs nucléaires sont actuellement à l'étude pour reproduire le processus de fusion nucléaire qui se déroule au cœur des étoiles, et donc du Soleil. D'où le nom de "soleils artificiels" donnés à ces réacteurs. Si l'homme maîtrise la fission nucléaire, qui ... Show More
