Chinese scientists have made a major breakthrough in clean energy by loading fresh fuel into a working molten salt thorium reactor.

They did this while the reactor continued to run, marking a major step forward in the global push to use thorium as a safer and more abundant alternative to uranium in nuclear energy.

The milestone was announced during a closed meeting on April 8 at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), where project leader Xu Hongjie shared the news with colleagues.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
