Unlocking Unlimited Clean Energy: The Power of Thorium

⚛️Thorium, when converted into uranium-233, can generate a huge amount of energy and has a thousand times more availability than uranium-235.

🔋Copenhagen Atomics has developed unique technology, called The Onion Core, for molten salt reactors, which enables them to generate energy at a lower cost than any other technology.

📈By using spent fuels from other reactors, Copenhagen Atomics can generate ten times more energy per kilogram of fuel in their thorium reactors.

💡Nuclear energy is safe, and statistics show that it is on par with wind and solar energy in terms of safety. Misinformation about its dangers needs to be corrected.

🌍The development of thorium energy is crucial for meeting the world's increasing energy needs, especially for the five billion people who seek the same level of prosperity as developed countries.

Why is thorium considered a sustainable source of energy?

—Thorium is considered sustainable because it is available in abundance and can be converted into uranium-233, which is an excellent nuclear fuel. Unlike other nuclear fuels, thorium will never run out, making it a truly renewable energy source.

How does Copenhagen Atomics' technology differ from traditional nuclear reactors?

—Copenhagen Atomics' technology, using molten salt reactors and thorium fuel, offers several advantages over traditional nuclear reactors. It is safer, more cost-effective, generates ten times more energy per kilogram of fuel, and produces waste that only needs to be stored for 300 years, making it a manageable problem.

Is nuclear energy really safe?

—Yes, nuclear energy is safe. Statistics show that nuclear energy, including both accidents and everyday operation, is on par with wind and solar energy in terms of safety. Misconceptions and misinformation often lead to the perception that nuclear energy is dangerous.

How is Copenhagen Atomics financing and operating their power plants?

—Copenhagen Atomics and its subsidiaries finance, build, own, and operate their power plants. This new model for nuclear energy breaks away from the traditional government-owned and regulated approach, allowing for lower costs and faster development.

How can Copenhagen Atomics guarantee the corrosion problem is solved in their reactors?

—Copenhagen Atomics has developed a purification process for the salt used in their reactors, eliminating the corrosion problem. Extensive testing and collaboration with scientists at the Danish Technical University have ensured that the corrosion is minimal and manageable.
