Thorizon - Nuclear Reactors
FromThorizon
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.

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!
Safe
Revolutionary and unconditional safety features are the starting point of our design.
Smart
Our modular core is composed of cartridges that contain the fuel and are replaced every 5-10 years.
Circular
“No energy to waste” our reactor uses existing nuclear waste as fuel together with the abundant metal Thorium. This way, we reduce radioactive waste and generate clean carbon-free energy in one go.
