Thorium

Preface I have written this article exclusively for The Thorium Network(1) on the basis that I remain anonymous — my livelihood depends on it. I completed my nuclear engineering degree in the late 2000’s and shortly thereafter found a position in a semi-government owned nuclear power station — with several PWRs…

How UK Atomics Plans To Bring Prosperity To The Globe — Not often do I get too excited about the prospect of a new nuclear technology coming to market. But a little company based in Copenhagen, Denmark, is doing just that. The UK Atomics (UKA) "waste burner" Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) is a small, deployable, cheap, quick-to-build, safe, flexible, scalable, and…

The ‘wonder of the age’ was in everything, from chocolate to condoms — Marie Curie (1867–1934) discovered radium in 1898. It is a chemical element with the symbol Ra and the atomic number 88. Marie, and her husband Pierre, won half of the Nobel prize for physics in 1903 (she would win a second prize for chemistry in 1911). …

Do we have the patience to survive? — In the last few days, I’ve been following the news about nuclear power and nuclear weapons. I’m worried about the possibility of nuclear war between the United States, Russia, and/or China. …

These are common phrases one can hear from opponents of nuclear energy. I want to discuss these allegations and hopefully provide some new insights and some resources one can use to check out these statements for yourself. Cost Nuclear power plants have historically been huge power plant projects. Governments have taken…

We live in a finite world. Our world has a limited time until its end. There are 7.753 billion people who are trying to survive every day out there. Climate change is real and our world continues to warm. If we don’t do something about climate change, we will never…

Are there anyone who can revolutionize nuclear power the way Elon Musk revolutionized electric cars and space rockets? — If WE CAN fix all the problems with nuclear power, then we can save the planet from global warming while also bringing prosperity to the third world. Nuclear power today has several problems that needs fixing: Long construction time — Median time to build a reactor is 7 years. However…
