Some Physical Issues of the Thorium Molten Salt Reactor Nuclear Energy System

Nuclear fission energy has incomparable huge advantages than other energy in solving the conflicts between rapid growth of energy needs and environmental protection because of its high energy density, low-carbon emissions and the potential for sustainable development. Especially in China, the energy structure is in a critical period of strategy transition from coal-based high-carbon energy to low-carbon energy. Development of nuclear energy has become one of the strategic focuses of China's medium and long-term energy development plan.
