China is gearing up to activate the world's first 'clean' commercial nuclear reactor.
The molten-salt nuclear reactor, which runs on liquid thorium rather than uranium, is expected to be safer than traditional reactors because the molten salt cools and solidifies quickly when exposed to the air, insulating the thorium, so that any potential leak would spill much less radiation into the surrounding environment compared with leaks from traditional reactors.

I don't think it will cancel out the fumes and CO2 emitted by the coal plants they are rapidly permitting or have under construction.

Not yet, but then pilot plants rarely do.

The CCP has to do something with all that money we pay for its junk. This is the nuclear expenditure we should be concerned about:
