    The output per reactor is 100 MW thermal and the idea is to put them together like Lego bricks for large deployments. This makes the technology suitable for power production and other applications like process heat for industrial use, including production of hydrogen and green ammonia.

    The technology is expected to reach an electricity price (LCoE) below $20/MWh in a mass manufacturing scenario. Copenhagen Atomics is also planning an “energy-as-a-service” business model, where it will build, own, operate and decommission the thorium reactor, with no investment required by the customer, and no need for taxpayer investments.

    As an extra benefit the thorium reactor can utilise spent fuel from conventional nuclear power plants (thereby reducing the storage time from 100 000 years to 300 years). For this reason, the technology is called a waste burner.

    Worth a look, again tow potential profit areas, getting rid of other countries nuke waste and generating electricity here in Oz.
