ThorCon – Demonstrated Molten Salt Tech Packaged With Modern Construction Techniques
ThorCon is
a packaged nuclear power plant concept from Martingale, Inc. that is
designed to wring capital costs out of nuclear plant construction. The
company visionaries have recognized that the biggest hurdles to building
new actinide-fueled reactors are the initial capital investment along
with the excessive required construction lead time.
Instead of complaining that “the market” does not reward carefully crafted works of industrial art designed to last for sixty to one hundred years with lucrative paybacks delayed for three or four decades after final investment decisions, the ThorCon design team started with the notion that product designers must create offerings that satisfy market demands.
