Engineering the Future of Energy

Ed.'s note: Let's get this species going in a better direction. Help us promote thorium as a cheap energy source that can move our species out of this present self-destructive paradigm into an entirely new type of existence. It is time we all step up to end the fear and artificially created sense of scarcity. The biggest reason against thorium development is because it can't be monopolized and weaponized. Take a moment and think of what $21 trillion would buy in terms of research and development as well has building thorium reactors?

Clean, Cheap, Safe and Abundant Energy Using Thorium

Radically changing nuclear power

Radically changing nuclear energy technology is a rapidly growing industry and research area dedicated to developing fundamentally new types of nuclear reactors. Such reactors are targeted to solve problems of existing nuclear reactor technology, including waste, risk, scalability, and cost.

Molten salt reactors and Thorium

At Copenhagen Atomics we believe that reactors using molten salt as coolant (MSRs) and thorium as an abundant and cheap energy source is the best solution for completely changing nuclear energy and energy production in general. A thorium based molten salt reactor is small, efficient, safe, and with an optimal waste profile including the burning of nuclear waste from current plants.

Thorium energy and the environment

Nuclear reactors don't produce gaseous pollution such as CO2, SO2, and NOx or particulate matter pollution. This occurs at a massive scale with fossil fuels and is the main cause of our largest environmental problem today. Furthermore, thorium MSRs can deliver a scalability and cost proposition superior to any existing energy technology, including current nuclear, renewables and fossil fuels.
