Our Vision, Inspired by a Nuclear Pioneer

Our inspiration comes from Dr. Alvin Weinberg, a pioneering nuclear physicist who played a critical role in the Manhattan Project and later became director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Beyond his scientific feats, he served on the US government’s President’s Science Advisory Committee under both Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy. We invite you to explore our detailed tribute 5 part series, Dr. Alvin M. Weinberg – Father of Thorium Molten Salt, on Dr. Weinberg’s remarkable legacy:

Part 1 – Dr. Alvin M. Weinberg – Father of Thorium Molten Salt

Part 2 – Dr. Alvin M. Weinberg met JFK multiple times… was that behind moon shot?

Part 3 – Dr. Alvin M. Weinberg, 2004, “After I’m gone…”

Part 4 – Dr Alvin M. Weinberg – A documentary on the life and times

Part 5 – Dr Alvin M. Weinberg’s published works

To make this energy source both clean and extremely cheap, Dr. Weinberg believed the link between nuclear power and nuclear weapons would have to be severed. And the way to break that link was the Thorium Molten Salt Burner.

Why use Liquid Thorium?

A properly configured machine burning thorium fuel is called a Liquid Fission Thorium Machine (LFTM) or Molten Salt Burner (MSB). It generates heat from thorium fission, which can be converted into electricity or used for industrial processes such as ammonia production, hydrogen generation, desalination, or centralized heating.

Liquid Fission Thorium Machines differ from conventional uranium reactors in three key ways:

• The thorium fission energy process is inherently proliferation resistant, making weaponization exceedingly difficult. Consider the evidence: of the tens of thousands of nuclear weapons ever developed on Mother Earth, every single one has been produced using uranium. None have been made with thorium. This fact underscores thorium’s unique advantage in preventing nuclear weapons development.
• The laws of physics dictate that Liquid Fission Machines inherently cool themselves if the fission reaction rate increases. This effect is known as Doppler Broadening. Two important consequences arise from this phenomenon:
  • Liquid Fission Thorium Machines cannot experience a meltdown. Because the fuel is already in liquid form, Doppler Broadening is fully effective.
  • These machines cannot explode or release material into the environment. If a leak occurs, the material simply goes “plop” — not “bang.”

There are more than 1,000 years of thorium supply on our planet—accessible to everyone, everywhere.

When compared to other fuels, Liquid Fission Thorium stands out for its exceptional energy release:

• Liquid Fission Thorium Machines achieve an energy return ratio of 2,000:1.
• Solid fuel fission delivers a ratio of 75:1.
• Coal and gas produce approximately 30:1.
• Wind energy returns a modest 3.9:1.
• Solar energy offers only 1.6:1.*

Two additional major advantages of Liquid Fission Thorium Machines are their ability to consume existing stockpiles of spent nuclear fuel and dramatically reduce the lifespan of the remaining waste. The small amount that remains after consumption only requires containment for about 300 years before it returns to essentially natural levels. In stark contrast, current solid uranium fission technology produces waste that remains hazardous for over 100,000 years.

What about Renewable energy?

Bill Gates Doesn’t Like Them

Resource Crunch

Bill Gates, who has invested $1 billion of his own money into the renewable energy sector, expresses clear frustration in this brief clip: renewables alone will not solve the looming energy crisis. His insight comes from a deep understanding of the scale and complexity of the challenge.

Even if renewable technologies could be scaled at an unprecedented pace, the Earth does not have enough mineral resources to build the infrastructure required to achieve “Zero Carbon.” Simply expanding renewable capacity risks driving energy prices ever higher, placing increasing burdens on economies and consumers.

Germany’s ambitious green plan offers a sobering example. Despite investing approximately €1.5 trillion over two decades, Germany faces energy prices nearly double those of its nuclear-powered neighbor France. CO₂ emissions have not meaningfully decreased, and reliance on coal continues when wind and solar underperform. Currently, Germany invests around €690 million per year to undermine French nuclear energy—seeking parity by pushing French prices upward as well.

There simply are not enough resources on Earth to build a bridge big enough to meet the demands of a zero-carbon future powered solely by renewables.

Liquid Fission Thorium offers a viable, scalable solution that overcomes the fundamental limitations of renewables, paving a realistic path toward a sustainable, zero-carbon energy future.
