Searched for THTR-300 [1] in the article and nope doesn't come up.
It was a commercial size thorium reactor and showed that with a different reactor design you simply have to fight with other problems which the German wikipedia article lists [2].
In the end it didn't offer any of the magical advantages often claimed for thorium reactors and the project ran out of money. Now the government has to pay to clean up.
