-
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.
Specialized in the political and technical approaches to construct a sustainable society along with expertise in nuclear power and supply-chain management of manufacturing, Takashi Kamei calls for a comprehensive strategy for the revitalization of Japan's low-carbon society and future industry centering on Thorium Energy.

A close look at Thorium will be given on ThEC2010. When pure it has a silver-grey metall look but a rare green Thorium-crystal can be found in Turkey. Now Thorium is attractive not only because of its properties as an energy source but also as it is found right under our feet.
The Square Planet film company recognises the significance of this potentially game-changing energy source and has outlined a documentary intended to increase public awareness of safe Thorium Energy.
Victoria Ashley (ThEC2010 presenter) is Project Manager of the ADTR™ power station at the services provider for the energy sector, Aker Solutions. The system is the result of a fruitful collaboration with Nobel Laureate Professor Carlo Rubbia.

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
