About
In the next conference, ThE Prize will be handed out to the next person, who has made significant contributions to the field.
ThE Prize represents the fact that a lifetime's energy need of each one of us on this planet can be generated from an amount of thorium that fits in the palm of your hand. It's a gift from 'Mother Earth', handed for us to reach - what we need to do is enable research and development efforts to make Thorium Energy a reality.
