MSR’s can Restore the Economics of Nuclear Power

3/2/2016

The UK government sees potential in the UK becoming a global exporter of small modular reactors and helping drive a major expansion of nuclear energy worldwide. It has committed £250 million to R&D in the nuclear fission area. ‘For nuclear to become a dominant global power source, the economics of nuclear power must be restored. This can only be done by making nuclear energy intrinsically safer, instead of adding layer on layer of engineered safety systems. Molten salt reactors can achieve this.’ concludes EPD...

EPD sees that ‘Thorium, an accessible, radio-actively fertile material, will eventually become the global energy resource of choice...

A Powerful Team Evaluated the Molten Salt Reactor - LFTR

30/10/2015

A technology assessment of the liquid-fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR) by EPRI, in collaboration with Southern Company, Teledyne Brown Engineering and Flibe Energy, brings together perspectives of the technology developer and technology customer to adapt and apply standard evaluation methods and tools in assessing an innovative advanced reactor concept in the early stages of development.

Thorium Report by the Nuclear Energy Agency

20/8/2015

The Nuclear Energy Agency recently published a report titled ‘Introduction of Thorium in the Nuclear Fuel Cycle’. This report was drafted to offer a scientific and technologically sound assessment of thorium’s potential role in nuclear energy in short and longer term. Indeed, it dives very deep into the history, current state and potential of thorium energy, and provides an excellent source of information.

Short- to long-term consideration by the NEA.

Should Turkey Enter the Thorium Race?

17/8/2015

The Turkish Energy Foundation TENVA has published a report on Thorium opportunities in Turkey, which discusses thorium as a solution to the country’s chronic energy problem and the actions needed to achieve this. Will the sketched framework lead into a Turkish national thorium energy program?

Molten-Salt Reactor Feasibility Study by EPD

14/8/2015

The year long project conducted by Energy Process Developments Ltd to determine the feasibility of developing a pilot scale molten salt reactor in the UK has been finished and results published. The study reviewed six MSR designs: Flibe Energy, ThorCon, Moltex, Seaborg Technologies, Terrestrial Energy and Transatomic Power.

Feasibility study of developing a Molten-Salt Reactor in the UK.

A Sustainable Energy Alternative

4/6/2015

Finding suitable sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels has become one of the most pressing questions of our time. While renewable sources of energy are usually put forward as the only responsible solution, their ability to provide the capacities required remains a point of contention. Research confirms that...
