The world's largest cargo ship thorium molten salt reactor is on display in China. This is reported by South China Morning Post.
It should be noted that thanks to the thorium reactor, the ship will be able to transport 14 thousand shipping containers at a time. At the same time, the reactor itself will be safer and easier to maintain than a traditional uranium-based nuclear reactor.
“What makes such a ship innovative is that it will be powered by a thorium molten salt reactor, its thermal energy will be 200 megawatts,” the publication reported.
It is expected that the ship's power will be comparable to the power of reactors on nuclear submarines of the US Navy. The success of this technology could lead to a revolution in commercial transportation, sources said.
Previously in China, they introduced the “most human-like” robot with muscles and skin.
