Are you a journalist, student, humanist, or futurist looking for the inside on Liquid Fission Thorium? Unlimited energy. Secure. Reliable. This page is for you.
We’ve been asked many times for a summary of resources or key people to speak with.
Are we biased? Of course we are. The technology allows us to be. Indeed it demands we not be humble.
Read on and you’ll know why. You’ll want to [Join Us] too.
A Future Powered by Thorium is our objective. We are leveraging the billions of USD in today’s value and millions of hours invested over 50 years ago in a technology that is demonstrably superior to anything else we have today.
China already knows this. In 2011 it committed USD3.3 billion and 700 engineers to revive the US Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment from the 1960s. Today, China’s TMSR-LF1 is generating power — the first nation to do so. The original Hastelloy superalloy needed for these reactors was developed in the 1950s by just two companies in the world. China, working with Australia, and Professor Adi Patternson (see below), has now developed an independent supply.
India is moving next. In 2025, India began opening its Thorium sector to private companies, and NTPC partnered with US-based Clean Core Thorium Energy to deploy Thorium fuel in existing reactors — a first for the country.
Here’s a summary of that work from [Oak Ridge National Laboratories]:
We have this YouTube and other useful 3rd party links on our website here:
See this chart of energy density from an Australian government website. Everything else pales into insignificance when compared to Liquid Fission Thorium Burners. Some people call them MSR Molten Salt Reactors. We just call them LFTBs.
Here’s a recent article from Germany (translated into Japanese) that contains extensive information on China’s progress and Japan’s FUJI LFTB project.
The article also includes information on Japan’s LFTB project – FUJI.
Here’s a list of must-do-studies and interviews for background on Liquid Fission Thorium Energy, LFTBs or subjects related, such as radiation safety, the effects of Chernobyl and Linear No Threshold theory.
Professor Geraldine Thomas
Director of the Chernobyl Tissue Bank — the world’s preeminent knowledge base for the real effects of radiation. Prof. Thomas is became staunchly pro-nuclear due to her directorship and her discovery of the truth—there was no issue with radiation from the indicent at Chernobyl.
Site story one: George Monbiot—former leading Greenpeace “anti-nuc” activist, dropped out of Greenpeace and became strongly pro nucelar after an interview he had with Proffessor Thomas. He was writing a nuclear hit piece for the UK’s Guardian he never finished.
Side story two: When Professor Thomas retired in 2022, she handed over the Chernobyl Tissue Bank to the U.S. National Cancer Institute. It is now a marginalized entity, doing little more than reiterating the century-old LNT narrative.
Side story three: After a century of radiation rules shaped by LNT, U.S. regulators are reconsidering the framework—renewing the charge that its dominance amounted to a century of lies and misdirection. The proposal changes how the rules are applied, though it retains [LNT] as a scientific basis.
Want to become an expert in the fraud of LNT, and it’s evidenced based counterpart Hormesis? Start here:
Mr. Daniel Roderick
Former President and CEO of Westinghouse and then Toshiba Energy Systems. Danny led the sale of Westinghouse for Toshiba, securing a positive multi-billion USD outcome for Japan. He also led negotiations to secure USD 50 billion in funding for a new nuclear build in Türkiye.
Side story one: Roderick’s project was derailed by the 2016 attempted coup in Türkiye. Mitsubishi subsequently submitted (and withdrew) a fission build near Sinop, northern Türkiye.
Side story two: Rosatom of Russia is now commissioning the first unit of their fission power station in Akkuyu, southern Türkiye. The first unit will be running very shortly. Once complete, the four-unit plant is designed for 4,800 MW and is expected to supply about 10% of Turkey’s electricity.
Dr. Adi Paterson
Former head of ANSTO and an advocate of Liquid Fission Thorium Energy Technology. During his 11-year tenure, Dr. Paterson steered Australia to membership of the Generation IV forum—the international body for advanced fission designs including LFTBs. This is no small feat given Australia’s historical distance from nuclear energy.
Dr. Adi Paterson
Dr. Adi Paterson is a former head of ANSTO and an advocate of Liquid Fission Thorium Energy Technology. During his nine-year tenure, he steered Australia into membership of the Generation IV International Forum, an international body focused on advanced fission designs, including LFTBs. This was no small feat, given Australia’s historical distance from nuclear energy.
Side story: Dr. Paterson redesigned the South African government’s Department of Science and Technology, which continues to thrive today. Necsa, the equivalent of ANSTO, declined his help. Its last director of research and development—remember, Necsa was founded as a research and development company—retired in February 2023 and was never replaced.
Dr. Resat Uzman
Director of nuclear energy systems at Figes AS, of Türkiye. Dr. Uzman has more than 40 years experience in all things nuclear, Türkiye and rare earths – the materials where Thorium is often found bound with.
Professor Berrin Erbay
Senior lecturer and former dean of mechanical engineering at Osmangazi University, Türkiye Prof. Erbay has been liaising with the professors in Japan for several decades. You can see one of her presentations on the status of Liquid Fission Technology and LFTBs in Japan here on Youtube:
Mr. Phumzile Tshelane
Mr. Tshelane is a former CEO of NECSA South Africa, now holds various directorships across a wide range of industrial sectors. His position as head of a state owned nuclear technology development company gives him a particular view point on commercialisation of nuclear energy technologies, especially LFTBs.
Ms. Rana Önem
Former president of the Thorium Student Guild. You should hear from someone discovered the benefits of Liquid Fission Thorium and LFTBs when studying their nuclear engineering degree. You can see Rana interviewing Dr. Uzman here. Follow the links at the end of the article to see her role as president of the Guild:
An important subject to cover is linear no threshold theory – a fraudulent model of radiation management that, unfortunately, has spawned an industry of radiation protection and radiation safety keen on maintaining its own survival. This results in massive, unnecessary overspending on nuclear builds. Professor Edward Calabrese is a leading expert on this subject and you can watch a series of interviews with Ed here:
The History of the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) Model Episode Guide
Together with Professor Jerry Cuttler, Ed presents clearly, laying out how LNT has demonstrably been proven false. (And consequently those that died at Fukushima died unnecessarily, as a direct result of inappropriately applying that theory).
Here’s the background on the Türkiye Japan University (TJU). Our founder, Jeremiah Josey, met with the Japanese Ambassador to Türkiye in 2021 and confirmed Japanese support for technology development of Liquid Fission and LFTBs is easier should such work be included in the curriculum of the TJU. Early planning stages of the TJU can be seen here below. The vice president of TJU is a senior professor at the Tokyo University responsible for nuclear engineering.
The “only” obstacle to adoption of Liquid Fission Thorium and LFTB technology is the incumbent energy industries, coal, oil and gas. It’s a significant obstacle, and it would be naive to think otherwise. Operating much like the tobacco industry has done in the past, lobbyists and funding at all levels occurs to stymie any potential competitors.
It is predicted that the 7 Trillion USD per year fossil fuel energy market would shrink to a few hundred billion USD per year with a society powered by Liquid Fission Thorium and LFTBs. This is an obvious disincentive for incumbents to do anything but to obfuscate and delay. For the true scale of these numbers, that means that a world powered by Liquid Fission Thorium energy would require only one ship like the one below to carry ALL WORLD’s Energy for ONE year.
You can see that obfuscation at work here with both Wired and the Bulletin in 2019 on USA presidential candidate Andrew Yang:
Fact-check: Five claims about thorium made by Andrew Yang – Bulletin
Andrew Yang Wants a Thorium Reactor by 2027. Good Luck, Buddy – Wired
The half truths and lies are difficult, if not impossible, for the layperson to identify. We contacted one of Andrew’s advisory team members and confirmed Andrew supports Liquid Fission Thorium, and was committing several billion USD to have USA’s energy footprint 100% on the technology by 2030. Technically very doable. Politically, not.
It is important to recognise the ecological and economic footprint of energy from Thorium (a substance as common as lead) as being much smaller than even uranium. In the article link above (the Japanese translation one) there are three slides that demonstrate the significant benefits Thorium has over uranium. These slides are repeated below.
The IAEA report TE1450 from 2005 is an excellent read. It says Thorium is not an issue and is a good prospect for energy – back in 2005. Once the physics is proven it doesn’t need to be “upgraded” every 6 months like an iPhone.
And yes, Thorium doesn’t explode. “Walk away safe” is a suitable term for Liquid Fission Technology and LFTBs.
Here’s the former head of IAEA, Hans Blix, stating that “Thorium shouldn’t be treated like uranium”.
See more Hans Blix on Liquid Fission Thorium Energy
Attached below is a brief summary of “Why Thorium didn’t take off” by Bruce Hoglund, 5 November 2010. It’s an excellent starting point for data gathering and research – and not “Wikipedia”. Wikipedia was used as partial evidence why the United Kingdom should’t use Thorium for energy. Around 2012 in a UK government 1.5m GBP funded “study”, rubbished Thorium and directly contradicted the advice of the IAEA’s TE 1450 report.
The information here is but the tip of the iceberg, however it gives an excellent starting point. There are of course, many, many others who can contribute considerably for a balanced and objective article or articles on Thorium for our energy future with LFTBs. And with today’s communications technology, such conversations are only but a few key strokes away.
Burning stuff is old tech.
Star Trek technology is where we have to be now. Fission does that, especially Liquid Fission Thorium Energy Technology and Liquid Fission Thorium Burners – LFTBs.
Uncle Martin would be proud. Nanu, nanu!
