UNDERSTANDING THE QUEST FOR THORIUM ENERGY

In this video I have outlined the Thorium cycle for energy generation and the difficulties involved as also India’s efforts at utilising the vast resources of Thorium available in the country. There is no doubt that India is at the forefront of research and technology of thorium based energy generation. It is not a matter of IF but a matter of WHEN we can utilise our Thorium for our energy requirements.

  1. Sir, thanks for the excellent & comprehensive presentation on the thorium cycle and our efforts in this.

    Looking at the reactor design, is the radiation released into the generative steam high ? Would it be possible to heat the water for the steam in an indirect manner ? If possible this could be used to generate potable water from sea water as a by-product of the electricity generation via a basic evaporation/condensation cycle instead of the expensive and inefficient membrane osmosis based desalination method. This would be a boon for arid areas along our coastlines.

    1. the radioactive penetration is the least in thorium reactors. desalination is a natural byproduct of nuclear plants…
