-
Affordable
Thorium is efficient, abundant and affordable - ultimately even cheaper than energy from coal.
-
Safe
System can be made inherently safe and provide enhanced proliferation resistance.
-
Proven
Demonstrated to be reliable by the pioneers more than 40 years ago.
-
Clean
No CO2 or air polluting emission.
Solution to the waste problem. -
Sustainable
Abundant and clean enough to supply global energy demand - more energy available from thorium than all coal, gas, oil and uranium combined.

Turning Talk into Action!
Be part of the Thorium Energy Conference, ThEC13.
for-profit organisation dedicated to driving awareness, research and the commercialisation of cleaner and safer nuclear technologies, fuelled by thorium.
The poster for the Thorium Energy Conference - ThEC11 - is now available! Feel free to use it to spread the word. If you wish to use the poster, there is a link beneath where you can download it.
announced that it will finance the development of a programme to develop a Thorium Fuelled Molten Salt Reactor (TFMSR). This is first of four “strategic leader in science and technology projects” that the Chinese Academy of Science will be supporting.

Quotes on Thorium
“I can still remember the thrill that came with my realization that the breeder meant inexhaustible energy.”
“I became obsessed with the Idea that humankind's whole future depended on the breeder.”
Alvin Weinberg
“No endeavor that is worthwhile is simple in prospect; if it is right, it will be simple in retrospect.”
Edward Teller
“Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous impatience. Once implemented they can be easily overturned or subverted through apathy or lack of follow-up, so a continuous effort is required.”
Admiral Hyman G. Rickover
