Q. Which country is set to build the world’s first nuclear reactor that does not need water for cooling?
Answer: China
Notes: Chinese scientists have launched plans for a first-of-its-kind nuclear reactor that does not need water for cooling. It is dubbed as the ‘World’s first Clean Nuclear Reactor’. The molten-salt nuclear reactor, is set to run on liquid thorium rather than uranium. It is expected to be safer than traditional reactors as the molten salt cools and solidifies quickly when exposed to the air, insulating the thorium, so that any leak would cause lesser radiation.
