Technology
Safe. Smart. Circular.
Nuclear reactors are a highly reliable source of energy that fundamentally complements intermittent wind and solar in a carbon-free energy system. We have developed cutting-edge nuclear technology that is inherently safe and can use existing nuclear waste as an energy source. This technology uses a different fuel and coolant type than traditional nuclear reactors: it is based on molten salt rather than on solid fuels and water. While molten salt reactors have proven to be a promising and feasible concept since the 1960s, only Thorizon holds the key to commercializing them with our unique cartridge-based design.
Our design
Overview
Safe. Smart. Circular. We have developed a unique molten salt reactor with patented cartridges at its heart. The combination of molten salt and cartridges comes with great benefits. It’s safe, smart, and circular. Have a look inside by clicking the buttons on the left!.jpg?height=550&width=860&height=550&anchor=topcenter&format=jpg)
“In Thorizon, we exploit the benefits of molten salt reactor technology and solve its challenges in a practical way to realize the first reactor in the shortest amount of time. Molten salt reactors make closing nuclear fuel cycles feasible; they are the key to minimizing waste and maximizing efficient use of resources.”
