Copenhagen Atomics has raised over 25 million euros and has developed full scale reactor hardware for molten salt thorium nuclear reactors. Almost a decade ago Copenhagen Atomics was founded based on a dream dream of a world powered by scaleable and green energy more affordable than coal; a thorium molten salt breeder reactor. They are now building full-scale prototype reactor test platforms, producing ton-scale highly purified salt and much more.
Copenhagen Atomics is developing a thorium based molten salt reactor with the same footprint as a 40 foot shipping container, which delivers 100 MW thermal energy per unit and is expected to reach an electricity price (LCoE) below $20/MWh in a mass manufacturing scenario.
The Waste Burner is expected to be online in 2028, and will run on a combination of thorium and used nuclear fuel reducing the storage period of the existing nuclear waste from 100,000 to 300 years. The 100 MWth thorium based MSR Waste Burner will deliver abundant energy in a cheaper, safer and cleaner manner.
They are in the process of building a non-fission prototype for the 1 MWth demo reactor, which will validate the reactor design using a non-nuclear fuel salt. They expect to have an operational 1 MWth demo reactor ready by 2025.
Today, electricity only accounts for approx. 20% of the world’s combined energy consumption, whereas energy for industrial use, fuel for cars, ships, planes and heating your home make up for the remaining 80%.
In the few places where diesel is being phased out, ammonia will become an ever-increasing part of fuel consumption as this can be used for the mining, transportation, and shipping industries, to name a few.
This project combines the knowledge of the old industry-leading companies Topsoe, Alfa Laval, Aalborg CSP, Pupuk Kaltim and Pertamina New & Renewable Energy and our molten salt reactor technology.

There are a number of significant basic technical and economic hurdles facing the proposed reactor. Practical engineering considerations do not particularly favor the claims being made.
Moving heavy water through a molten salt reactor is inherently risky from a technical and reactor safety standpoint. Water and molten salts do poorly when mixed. Throw in a nuclear reactor and the whole device is really unsettling.
Unclear the extent of reprocessing of spent fuel. However, such processes make a huge radioactive mess that is more or less equivalent to the initial spent fuel.
The unquantifiable financial burden associated with nuclear is a huge risk to profitability. Unclear how that risk can be accommodated by small assets that by definition can only produce small profits.
Seems to me that the whole enterprise has whiffs of the vaporware from the early days of computers. A large number of claimed products are being touted as possible, but practical reality casts significant doubt on such claims.
In passing, the claims of the wonders of ammonia need to be tempered with a strong dose of reality. Anhydrous ammonia is readily lethal if it leaks out of tanks and pipes into the atmosphere. Not the sort of thing the general population should be routinely using.
Agreed, but obviously the moderator channels would be air-gapped by a double wall eliminating conduction of heat into the moderator…. unless they aren’t doing that and it’s more stupider than we imagined. I’m not about to watch a thirty minute video to try to decipher the details of their hobby. Maybe they are looking for constructive criticism? Of course not! They’ve got their PhD’s and have worked with high pressure steam (they were baristas/baristoys).
I understand many people lack the perspective to discern what might be a legitimate effort vs. a handful of Danes in a garage with literally no chance. These guys live in a small, very antinuclear, windmill-powered, bicycle to work country that has not one functioning test reactor. Whatever government agency Denmark has with any relevant knowledge likely concerns itself with medical use of radiation and puts stamps on dentist’s xray machines after collecting tax.
