ThorCon

Martingale has developed ThorCon - a safe, simple molten salt reactor that can be rapidly deployed using available technology and shipyard factory construction techniques. The design is ready for construction, and can be on-line within 4 years of establishing a relationship with a cooperative country.

The design is essentially complete in the sense that we are nearly ready for quoting module fabrication at a modern shipyard. 3D models and detailed simulations support nearly all aspects of the design. Detailed costing models and rough construction schedules are available at thorconpower.com.

Achievements in 2014 - ThorCon

Martingale completed the preliminary detailed design of its ThorCon molten salt reactor and published it at thorconpower.com. It is the basis for securing feedback, funding, and siting for the project.

Goals for 2015 - ThorCon

The goal for 2015 is to identify a host country and site for construction of the non-nuclear prototype ThorCon, along with funding to enable construction.
