Kirk Sorensen has been a leader in promoting thorium energy, molten salt nuclear reactors and the liquid fluoride thorium reactor. Kirk formed the company Flibe Energy back in 2011. Nextbigfuture spoke with Kirk frequently when Kirk blogged at Energy from Thorium. Kirk presented his latest update on work towards a Molten Salt Reactor.

Compared to Uranium-238-based nuclear reactors currently in use today, a liquid fluoride thorium reactor (LTFR) would be: Much safer - No risk of environmental radiation contamination Imagine a form of nuclear energy with greater output and virtually no safety issues. Such is the promise of liquid flouride thorium reactors (LFTRs), and we’ve had several past interviews with thorium expert Kirk Sorensen to discuss their potential:. Much safer – No risk of environmental radiation contamination or plant explosion (e.g., Chernobyl, Fukushima, Three Mile Island) 2012-01-14 http://ThoriumRemix.com/ is a doc created (in part) from this footage. Watch "LFTR in 5 Minutes - THORIUM REMIX 2011" at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9M_ 2011-06-23 Flibe Energy was incorporated in April 2011 to develop and commercialize the liquid-fluoride thorium reactor. Although based in Huntsville, Alabama, USA, it also has business development operations in Singapore. LFTR technology has excited the world and is becoming synonymous with the more general term “thorium reactor”. Kirk Sorensen at TEDxYYC.

TED Talk Subtitles and Transcript: Kirk Sorensen shows us the liquid fuel thorium reactor -- a way to produce energy that is safer, cleaner and more efficient than current nuclear power. Kirk Sorensen is founder of Flibe Energy and is an advocate for nuclear energy based on thorium and liquid-fluoride fuels. For five years he has authored the blog “Energy from Thorium” and helped grow an online community of thousands who support a renewed effort to develop thorium as an energy source. Today we are again talking with Kirk about the liquid fluoride thorium reactors, or L-F-T-R or LFTR technology. He is a cofounder of Flibe, F-L-I-B-E which is an acronym, I think, from fluorine and lithium and beryllium. Flibe Energy is dedicated to developing a thorium-based reactor. Kirk Sorensen October 8, 2018 October 8, 2018, marks the fiftieth anniversary of the operation of the Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) using uranium-233 as a fuel.

How Thorium Can Save The World In the beginning of 2013, Salim Zwein held a talk at TEDxBeirut on how Thorium is a cheap, efficient, clean and abundant energy source with the capacity to replace Uranium as a nuclear fuel, and turn the nuclear industry into a safe, environmental alternative. October 8, 2018 November 8, 2018 Kirk Sorensen blog, History October 8, 2018, marks the fiftieth anniversary of the operation of the Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) using uranium-233 as a fuel.

Flibe Energy was founded in 2011 by Kirk Sorensen after he had spent over a decade studying and independently exploring the technical basis and design of molten-salt reactors. He conceived of the LFTR in 2006 as a modern incarnation of molten-salt reactor technology that incorporates the best principles of safety, performance, and economic versatility in order to provide a sustainable future

He first researched thorium reactors while working at NASA , while evaluating power plant designs suitable for lunar colonies. -Kirk Sorensen, President Achievements in 2014 - Flibe Energy In 2014, Flibe Energy commenced a funded study of the LFTR design which has enhanced the understanding of the potential and the challenges of this approach. Kirk Sorensen Videos 1-Train ride from Geneva 2- LFTR Strategy for FLIBE Energy November 8, 2013 – 7:30 am These were shot by Gordon McDowell and his team at the ThEC13 (Thorium Energy Conference 2013) in Cern, Geneva. "Energy From Thorium: A Nuclear Waste Burning Liquid Salt Thorium Reactor", video, 1 hr. 22 min., Kirk Sorensen's presentation at Google's Tech Talk, July 20, 2009 “Uranium Is So Last Century – Enter Thorium, the New Green Nuke” Wired Magazine article; Thorium Energy Alliance – advocacy and educational organisation dedicated to thorium Since "THORIUM REMIX 2009 - LFTR in 16 Minutes" I started volunteering for TEDxYYC, TEDxCalgary and other Calgary forums, asking them all to please host a Kirk Sorensen lecture on the Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor.

He first researched thorium reactors while working at NASA, while evaluating power plant designs suitable for lunar colonies. Kirk Sorensen is an American physicist/engineer who is the most vocal proponent on replacing the current crop of light water nuclear reactors with Thorium fuel based molten salt reactors. He presents the advantages of these reactors which are many. Kirk Sorensen, NASA-trained engineer, is a man on a mission to open minds to the tremendous promise that thorium, a near-valueless element in today's marketplace, may offer in meeting future world energy demand.

The LFTR Advantage Only the two-fluid design of our LFTR (pronounced “lifter”) can harness the full potential of thorium to be used for not only sustainable power, but also for life-saving cancer treatments. Shortest intro to molten salt – the thorium reactor. Early in the 2000s, a young man called Kirk Sorensen, just after finishing grad school, worked with a group at NASA that did advanced technology work. Sorensen’s assignment was to look for an energy source that would be suitable to power a moon base. 2012-11-19 · Kirk Sorensen shows us the liquid fuel thorium reactor -- a way to produce energy that is safer, cleaner and more efficient than current nuclear power.
