Its ultimate target was to investigate and develop a thorium-based molten salt nuclear system over about 20 years.<ref>{{cite web |title=The future of nuclear power plant safety "are not picky eaters" |first=Xu |last=Qimin |language=zh |date=26 January 2011 |url=http://whb.news365.com.cn/yw/201101/t20110126_2944856.htm |access-date=30 October 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120717035636/http://whb.news365.com.cn/yw/201101/t20110126_2944856.htm |archive-date=17 July 2012 |quote=Yesterday, as the Chinese Academy of Sciences of the first to start one of the strategic leader in science and technology projects, "the future of advanced nuclear fission energy – nuclear energy, thorium-based molten salt reactor system" project was officially launched.
