NEW TECHNOLOGY: China¡¯s research into thorium energy may help close the era of fossil fuel dominance

EVER visited China lately? A visit to Beijing will definitely leave a poor impression of the air quality there.
Here in Malaysia, we complain about the haze that only appears during certain periods of the year. In Beijing, residents have to put up with even worse haze on practically daily basis.
The Chinese government is long aware of this health threatening air quality situation. But finding solutions is not easy. Why? The country has to develop its economy to deliver social well-being for its people. Energy is always central to economic development. And in China, coal is currently the most cost effective fuel for power generation.
At the same time, with the ever increasing number of cars on China's many highways, pollution arising from the emission of fossil fuel-powered cars is almost unstoppable.
There is no doubt that coal powered electricity generation and fossil fuel-powered cars provide a lethal combination to produce the smog reminiscent of big cities like Los Angeles and London in those early days of air pollution. How does China plan to cope?
It has been reported that China is actively looking at nuclear power as an option. But not just the conventional uranium-based nuclear energy. China is investing in thorium nuclear energy.
Reports have surfaced that scientists in Shanghai have been told to bring early fruition to plans to build the first fully-functioning thorium reactor within ten years, instead of 25 years as originally targeted.
China is not alone in the race to commercialise thorium-based nuclear power. The country faces fierce competition from overseas. Evidently it is not an easy task.
Some have described a situation where researchers are working under "warlike" pressure to deliver. Proponents of thorium power are elated with the vigour shown by China. Some hail the concerted move by China as doing the world a big favour. They may even help to close the era of fossil fuel dominance. The West risks being left behind, still relying on the old uranium reactor technology that was originally designed for US submarines in the 1950s.
What is publicised is that the technology promises to be safer, cleaner, and ultimately cheaper than uranium. It is also much harder to use in nuclear weapons, and therefore limits the proliferation risk.
There are ample supplies of thorium around the world. Even Malaysia has large deposits of thorium. Some big tonnages are unfortunately already buried, since thorium is also viewed as a hazardous by-product of rare earth metal mining.
It has been reported that China's thorium project has been launched as a high priority. China may have enough thorium to power its electricity needs for "20,000 years".
The project has begun with a start-up budget of US$350 million (RM1.12 billion). They have recruited 140 PhD scientists at the Shanghai Institute of Nuclear and Applied Physics. They plan to have 750 staff by 2015.
According to reports, the Chinese are opting for a molten salt reactor. This was first proposed by the US nuclear doyen Alvin Weinberg. Apparently, it is best adapted for thorium. This in quite different from thorium initiatives in the West which still rely on light water technology used in uranium reactors. One significant advantage of thorium power is that it can be done on a much smaller scale, at atmospheric pressure, without the need for the vast structures common in uranium reactors.
The Americans would have been first. Apparently, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee actually built a molten salt thorium reactor in the 1960s. It was, however, shelved by the Nixon Administration. This was because of the prevailing Cold War, where the Pentagon needed plutonium residue from uranium for nuclear bombs.
The thorium blueprints eventually gathered dust in the archives. A Nasa engineer did publish it, but was largely ignored by the US. China took notice and decided to evaluate the new technology. The rest is history.
The Chinese are building 28 standard reactors. This is by far the biggest nuclear push in the world. This is not only to break away from dependence on imported fuel, but more important also to fight pollution.
