The development

Global primary energy consumption

Discover how 30 years of "talk" has resulted in very little "change". But certainly a lot of additional energy output around the world.

The Roadmap

Our path to accelerate reactor development

  • Low cost high efficiency

    Copenhagen Atomics is developing a thorium based molten salt reactor with the same footprint as a 40 foot shipping container, which delivers 100 MW thermal energy per unit and is expected to reach an electricity price (LCoE) below $20/MWh in a mass manufacturing scenario.

  • Reducing storage period

    The Thorium Reactor is expected to be online in 2029, and will run on a combination of thorium and used nuclear fuel reducing the storage period of the existing nuclear waste from 100,000 to 300 years

  • Demo expected in 2026

    We are in the process of building the 3rd prototype test reactor, which will validate the reactor design using natural thorium and uranium salts. We expect to have an operational 1 MWth demo reactor ready by 2026

Abundant energy

Multiple use

Use cases

Thorium is widely and abundantly available and stores enough energy to sustain the world’s energy need for thousands of years

Thorium usecases by Copenhagen Atomics

Note: 1) Transuranics needs to be stored for 100,000 years if they are not used as fuel in the Waste Burner

See detailed description
Since energy prices are highly correlated with almost any product and molten salt reactors will become the absolute cheapest possible method of producing energy, thorium molten salt reactors will be the most deflationary technology humanity has ever seen.

A unique investment opportunity

An engineering driven approach to developing a clean, safe and abundant energy source through a thorium based MSR

1
A financial and environmentally sustainable energy solution
The world needs a quick green transition and Copenhagen Atomics will provide a solution, which is both more green than most other projects and which creates a great return on investment. We want this to be a historically significant energy solution.
2
Safe and abundant energy
Nuclear energy is statistically the safest form of energy production. - Horror stories from the media are more fictional than factual. We believe that thorium reactors will provide more than half of all energy in the world by 2100.
3
Steep learning curve from continuous testing
Thorium molten salt reactors is a new technology and there is some skepticism about when it will mature. Copenhagen Atomics is unique because we have tested more hours than all the other companies in this industry combined. We are confident that these reactors will become commercial before 2030.
4
On the forefront of MSR development
Ultimately, Copenhagen Atomics is on the forefront of the development of a commercial MSR, which can produce sufficient energy to meet the growing demand in a cheaper and environmentally friendly way.
