The world is waking up to the huge potential of Thorium to solve the looming energy crisis; ThEC12 in Shanghai is the event of the year for everyone with an interest in the future of Thorium Energy and its many related fields. Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, ChineseAcademy of Sciences (SINAP, CAS) and International Thorium Energy Organisation (IThEO) will co-host this conference and make it a success. Place: Shanghai Hope Hotel, Shanghai, China Time: October 29- November 1, 2012 Welcome to ThEC12 Shanghai - Turning Talk into Action! |
2012 sees the turn of Shanghai to host the IThEO Conference, which is entirely appropriate, because China is taking the lead in exploring fresh approaches to nuclear fission in its quest for sustainable, environment-responsible energy that can be delivered reliably and in quantity.
The Chinese initiated action to find viable energysources significant enough to wean the country off its dependence on carbon-based energy. The large amounts of Thorium being produced as a by-product of its rare earth mining operations, is a further incentive. ThEC12 is being partnered by the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics (SINAP) - a senior academic institution of the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS), which has been given specific responsibility for the Thorium Energy utilization programme in China.
Although ThEC12 is the leading forum for ongoing debate on Thorium Energy, this year we believes there will be positive signs that the Thorium Energy implementation door against which we've been pushing, may finally be starting to open.
That's why, more perhaps than any previous year, you need to be at ThEC12, which will be held in Shanghai.

City and weather during the conference
Shanghai is located on the east coast of China. It is the center of economic, finance, trade and shipping in China. It is also a culture and science center of China. Shanghai has been one of the most rapidly developing cities in the world in the last ten years and hosted the World Expo in 2010. There are multi-culture architectures from around the world and other regions of China. The average temperature in November is 13ºC.
