This would be not only a source of the cheapest energy, but also an ideal source of U233! Bye-bye nuclear non-proliferation

It will not, unless you can explain how to prevent stealing of the weapon grade U233 in the process

Recently saw a conceptual reactor design where they had a Tokamak reactor which I found interesting! They had a setup using a Tokamak reactor's deuterium and tritium reaction to produce helium and also to breed more tritium. They had a lithium blanket? In addition they used helium as coolant for the Tokamak reactor, and heat exchanging the hot helium with salt to create molten salt, which is further heat exchanged with a steam turbine system for generating electricity when the fusion reactor is off or is being cleaned of materials and byproducts between runs. I think the idea is that you would have a large cold salt storage gradually picking up heat from the helium coolant (to allow the helium to be reused as coolant indefinitely I think) and a system to move than molten salt between hot and cold leg storage from the Tokamak to the steam turbines. Now for the actual turbine design I'm not sure what would be the best approach but if you had a fairly continuous supply of molten salt at 300 Celsius or more then that surely has a lot of potential for boiling water to make steam and utilizing condensate and steam storage to power turbines for a long time at Subcritical and very potentially much higher efficiencies. It's the salt storage system and movement of molten salt between capturing excess heat from the reactor and coolant to transporting it and making use of the heat for steam generation that seem to me to be the biggest obstacle (besides of course the need to produce enough tritium)

Chinas isn’t fully operational until 2029 I believe but I wonder what the hidden agenda is now that everyone is pushing this thorium reactor stuff who’s about to go to war next

You are ignoring that for thorium you HAVE to reprocess - this is the expensive bit. It’s currently not commercially viable to reprocess with commercial U235 reactors and the tech is well understood.

Thumbnail caught me off guard

An explanation i understand.

Do you have stocks?

7:00 Gosh, what a load of rubbish. Hinkley Point C in the UK is now at $160/MWh, and the thing is not running! The further the price for solar and batteries drop, the high the nuclear lalaland flies! 🤣🤣🤣

We needed this decades ago! Now China has taken the lead. The free countries of the world need to accelerate their research and development!

Have you guys made any progress on the heat and corrosion issues that plague molten salt reactors?

Thorium and Indian beaches , a never ending love story.

Thorium is so good that nobody is using it.

It’s entropy

Well done, great explanation !!

At mony mony monyth 😊

My uncle Christopher Monanan was a nuclear physicist, he was working on the theory of thorium energy approximately 30 years ago he wouldn't be given that the funding because the energy companies would have suffered so much, as well as the oil companies and everyone profiteering and scavenging. They literally shut him down.

What about using Uranium from "spent" fuel rods? Germany alone has at least 15.000 tons of that stuff. We really do not need to produce more toxic / radioactive waste.

Keep up the excellent work!

Does your test setup work as expected? And how long will it be before the first energy containers come into commercial use?

I would not invest in this company, I think it's a scam because all they do is talk. In Swedish "mycke snack och lite verkstad".

Why you saying "we couldn't reach it with solar"? Yes, we can. You can choose as goal for your reactors big sea ships for directly ship power supply, instead using NH3

More energy just burn different fuels even lava from the Vulcans.

Will Copenhagen Atomics share a video about the "chemical plant" part of the reactor? Fuel seperation and that kind if stuff?

😂😂😂😂😂

lemme work here pretty please

India has one of the biggest thorium reserves. I hope thorium is soon used in producing energy. It is one of the safest fuel.

I would like to use one of this containers to power my house. I am from Australia as well.

Australia has large deposits of thorium-bearing minerals.

Switzerland Atomics

Sell it as a reactor that recycles nuclear weapons from the cold war lol But seriously we allready know it works its the maintenance part that keep anyone from building them and the modular reactor idea just creates a massive nuclear landfill

@ Copenhagenatomics - Excellent presentation! AI search: "The United States program to go to the moon was the Apollo program, which was carried out by NASA from 1961 to 1972:" Now with high respect for scientists on Copenhagen Atomics for their goals on cheap afordable energy for the world the energy transition looks optimistic. I really like and all comments but more respect for comments from @perryallan3524, many challenges explained. What surprised me are that efforts on these thorium SMR have many decades not only from USA but from scientist around the world. Today @Copenhagenatomics comes with these wonderfull plans and need another decade time to develop the concepts they have, without partnering with government. Without government participation every plan will brake. Very bad. Another challenge is that the economy need energy today and tomorrow and supply with fossil fuels is dwindling, even billions peoples do not have basic energy. Haw will run the economy until the transition will phase out all fossil fuels. The PV Solar and Wind need fossil fuels for backup and the backup plants will be used not effectively. This increase capital which will stay idle. The same is valid and for battery storage.

The reason Thorium is no used in a breeder reactor is often omitted. A chemical extraction process needs to be added to the process. Thus, although thorium reactors have been built, they have not caught on.

Wish You all the best, hope this works out well! 👏👍🏻

Hope to see this soon at the PSI in Switzerland 👍🏻

I have been waiting for 30 years for the thorium reactor to be completed and running. It is always just 2 or 3 years away.

El Salvador would host your company and allow the real working reactions

fake technobabble being used to trick rich dumb investers

Cool!

Now, this is quality

Thorium can be safe atomic energy, besides its used in arid area, it can be used to "eat up" nuclear waste...

Its cheap and can be used in dry area...if used in Central Asia desert, will have the benefit of no contamination of ground water

Not as matches in Minecraft furnace

Why tf does it take you 3 years to test a 1 mw bullshit?

We need a major education effort to overcome the anti-nuke sentiment that's so prevalent in the mainstream media.

He explains nothing about nuclear, just a vague business plan. Useless report.

Seen this 5 years ago. Then it was only a few years until the MSR reactors became viable. Still is the case TMSR reactors will be viable in a couple of years. Conclusion. This is a scan , just like the fusion reactors are a scam.

Germany need this portable power source big time. I hope they figure this out soon.

new 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 what does the kwh cost!? stock price end user industry energy intense industry normal businesses

Really exciting what they are doing!
