Subject: thorium molten salt nuclear reactors to generate electricity

Indonesia is going thorium molten salt nuclear reactors to generate 20 GW of capacity in the country’s most recent energy plan.

“ Indonesia is serious about developing the non-intermittent, clean, and inexpensive power that ThorCon molten salt reactors offer.”

PT Industry Nuklir Indonesia (INUKI) is the state-owned nuclear fuel processing company. PT PLN is the state-owned power generation company. PT Pertamina is the state oil and gas giant which is now looking at nuclear and other forms of energy. Together these companies have formed the Indonesia Thorium Consortium whose purpose is the development and implementation of thorium molten salt reactors based on the ThorCon design.

The consortium will provide Indonesia with a clean solution to its pressing energy needs, at a price that is competitive with coal.

The ThorCon thorium molten salt reactor design promises clean energy competitive with the cost of coal. The low-pressure liquid-fuel technology provides intrinsic passive safety. Mass production of nuclear power plants is possible with ThorCon technology.

The ThorCon liquid-fuel nuclear reactor design is detailed at thorconpower.com.

Nuclear power seems to be a dirty word in Australia, little chance we will implement such a programme even if it’s proven benefical

I agree. The arguments of some people borders on moronic

How bout providing a link showing actual human deaths from nuclear power plant disasters compared to natural disaster deaths & bowling alley deaths

If your so interested, how about you search for it

compare it to Beijing’s air quality deaths

I think you’ll find that coal fired pollution in Chinese cities kills far more people than accidents in Chinese nuclear reactors. This is if i’m not mistaken the opposite of what your post implied.

Who do they buy their thorium from? In Australia, thorium is tossed out as a waste product in rutile/zircon/ilmenite mining.
