Thorcon power plants produce no CO2 emissions or air pollution. In addition to emissions-free and pollution-free electricity, Thorcon plants can be deployed to desalinate seawater, make carbon-neutral synthetic fuels, and can be used for industrial process heat for metallurgy, glass & ceramic manufacturing, cement and lime production and more.

As with any nuclear power plant, Thorcon plants will produce spent fuel throughout their lifetimes. As we ramp, we will consume all this spent fuel to power follow-on plants. After a period of many years of deploying GWs of power plants, Thorcon will begin to safely store spent fuel centrally, and in conformance with country and IAEA regulations.
