3. INTRODUCTION
The world continues to look to alternative power generation sources as way to move away from coal. Coal
has many side affects like air quality and CO2 emissions.
The cutting edge technology that moving more and more to commercialization is Thorium Reactor (Molten
Salt)

4. AGENDA
• What is a molten salt reactor?
• What is the market for molten salt reactor
• Thorium Reserves
• China and Molten Reactors
• Canada and Molten Reactors
• Canada and Construction

5. WHAT IS A MOLTEN SALT REACTOR?

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear
reactors that use a fluid fuel in the form of very
hot fluoride or chloride salt instead of the solid
fuel used in most reactors. Since the fuel salt is
liquid, it can be both the fuel (producing the
heat) and the coolant (transporting the heat to
the power plant). There are many different types
of MSRs, but the most talked about one is
definitely the Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor
(LFTR). This MSR has Thorium and Uranium
dissolved in a fluoride salt and can get planet-
scale amounts of energy out of our natural
resources of Thorium minerals, much like a fast
breeder can get large amounts of energy out of
our Uranium minerals. There are also fast
breeder fluoride MSRs that don’t use Th at all.
And there are chloride salt based fast MSRs that
are usually studied as nuclear waste-burners
due to their extraordinary amount of very fast
neutrons.
