Why is a meltdown effectively impossible?
Molten salt reactors in general have an interesting feature: the coolant is also the fuel, and it is liquid, under ...
Will the reactor emit carbondioxide to produce energy?
Some CO2 may be emitted for building the reactor, the modules and producing the reactor fuel, depending on the energy ...
How much and what type of energy can the reactor produce?
Our current design produces in the order of 250 MW of thermal power in the form of 550°C clean steam, ...
How much will the reactor cost?
For various reasons it is impossible to give an accurate estimation of the costs. We aim to achieve market-competitive energy ...
Is it safe?
Thorizon has made maximal use of the so-called ‘inherent safety features’ molten salt reactor technology can provide, meaning safety is ...
How can the reactor “burn” existing radioactive waste?
In a normal water-cooled reactor Uranium is split, generating highly active short-lived waste and energy. But also heavier elements are ...
How much waste can this reactor burn?
We will be able to burn approximately 1/2 of the long-lived waste generated by normal water-cooled nuclear power plants and ...
When can we expect the first reactor systems to be build?
We aim to build the first reactors sometime around 2035. An external due diligence performed by Tractebel Engie has concluded ...
Where are you going to build your reactor?
At this stage we are not ready to build a reactor yet. Dutch law currently provides three possible locations (Borssele, ...
