[US Department of Agriculture Confirms Key Crop Report to be Released in November] According to a notice released on the website of the US National Agricultural Statistics Bureau, the agency has confirmed that it will release its crop production report and global agricultural supply and demand forecasts on November 14. This highly anticipated report was originally scheduled for release on November 10, but due to the near-shutdown of the US government since October 1, there were doubts in the industry about whether the report could be released on time. This upcoming report is of special significance as it will include the first official US government forecasts for US corn and soybean production since September. When the previous report was released in September, harvesting had not yet fully commenced in most of the US Midwest, meaning that the November report will, for the first time, provide the market with more accurate production forecasts based on data closer to the harvest season. This news alleviates concerns in the agricultural market about data gaps. During the government shutdown, the lack of key agricultural data created uncertainty for grain traders, farmers, and food companies, affecting market assessments of the global food supply situation.

[my country's Thorium-Based Molten Salt Experimental Reactor Completed with Domestically Produced Core Equipment and Achieved In-Potential Thorium-Uranium Conversion for the First Time] The Chinese Academy of Sciences announced today (November 1st) that a thorium-based molten salt experimental reactor, located in Minqin County, Wuwei City, Gansu Province, has been completed and achieved in-potential thorium-uranium conversion for the first time. This preliminary demonstration of the technical feasibility of utilizing thorium resources lays an important scientific foundation for the subsequent large-scale utilization of thorium fuel. This experimental reactor is my country's fourth-generation advanced fission nuclear energy system, independently developed, designed, and constructed. It is also currently the only molten salt reactor in the world in operation that has achieved thorium fuel injection. The thorium-based molten salt experimental reactor uses thorium as nuclear fuel and liquid fluoride molten salt as coolant, offering advantages such as safety, waterless cooling, atmospheric pressure operation, and high-temperature output.
