Our small-scale reactor designs are ideal for rural utilities and communities, as well as energy-intensive (heat or electrical) industrial applications. The military is another important future user of the technology for CONUS bases and grid resiliency, and we receive continued interest from them. The long-term cost per watt reduces dramatically when a thorium economy supplements the overall energy sector. Alternatively, our designs can use uranium in various forms, or burn up spent fuel, eliminating a utility's on-site storage and long-term liability, as well as recouping valuable energy.

Building nuclear reactors requires an elite and extensive supply chain. Graphite, nickel, lithium, beryllium, fluorine, and thorium are some of our critical material needs. We need a select class of suppliers and manufacturers to help us develop the structures, systems, and components for not only a first prototype, but many reactors thereafter, and eventually usher in the “thorium economy”. We welcome discussions with vendors and encourage their growth to support the whole SMR industry.

The nuclear industry requires visionary leadership to meet the energy demands of our nation and the world. We have made substantial inroads on legislation to enhance competition and improve the regulatory processes for future SMRs. We are grateful to the many other reactor developers, NGOs, and other advocates that have voiced the message to elected officials and relevant agencies. We are particularly committed to preserving the national treasure of uranium 233. As is well known throughout industry, a demand signal is critical to the timely and cost-effective response to producing a product. With highly regulated nuclear energy it is essential that federal, state and local officials welcome a competitive and innovative marketplace. Please reach out to learn how you can help improve the policy landscape.

We anticipate extensive scientific knowledge and technology breakthroughs. We seek out partnerships with interested researchers for fundamental property measurements, modeling and simulation, testing, and other relevant expertise to complement our internal efforts. We embrace numerous university researchers to help build the future workforce and are thrilled to have supported Ph.D. and M.S. graduates in the chemical salt disciplines. We often develop teaming arrangements to respond to funding opportunities from ARPA-E, DOE, and other government agencies. We welcome inquires for additional partnership discussions.

From our earliest days, we have engaged seriously with environmentalist groups and individuals. They have welcomed our commitment to stop producing long-lived nuclear waste - and it is only the beginning. Our spent fuel “waste burner” would produce power by destroying the unwanted plutonium and transuranics found in today's spent fuel, likely eliminating the need for expensive geological repositories. With low pressure operation, minimal waste, and the smallest environmental footprint of any energy technology, the public can trust that protecting people and the environment are our top priorities.

Humanity thrives with abundant, low-cost energy. Much of our outreach focuses on the true historical background and original promise of nuclear energy, including byproducts like medical radioisotopes, and what that could mean to the world. We are committed to producing new and more informative videos alongside our in-person presentations to inspire listeners, and excitedly share with them a message of hope in a world of pessimism and apathy. Through LFTR, we see a future with clean air and water, enhanced medical diagnostics and cancer therapies, faster and cheaper transoceanic trade, abundant water through desalination - and even a practical future involving space travel and colonization.
