The Thorcon nuclear reactor is a design of a molten salt reactor with a graphite moderator, proposed by the US-based Thorcon company.
A sample of thorium. Thorium-based nuclear power generation is fueled primarily by the nuclear fission of the isotope uranium-233 produced from the fertile element thorium.A thorium fuel cycle can offer several potential advantages over a uranium fuel cycle [Note 1] —including the much greater abundance of thorium found on Earth, superior physical and nuclear fuel properties, and reduced ...
Thorcon is developing the TMSR-500 molten-salt reactor for the Indonesian market. [78] National Research and Innovation Agency, through its Research Organization for Nuclear Energy announced its renewal of interest on MSR reactor research on 29 March 2022 and planned to study and develop MSR for thorium-fueled nuclear reactors.

ThorCon nuclear reactor is a proposed floating molten salt reactor, by the US-based Thorcon company. The two-reactor unit is designed to be manufactured on an assembly line in a shipyard, and to be delivered via barge to any ocean or major waterway shoreline.
Indonesia nuclear regulator BAPETEN and ThorCon began pre-licensing consultation in March 2023. [23] In July 2023 Indonesia regulator BAPETEN led a public discussion of the planned ThorCon fission power plant at Gelasa Island. [24] ThorCon submitted the nuclear power plant proposal to the Indonesian government on 11 September 2024. [25]
TMSR-LF1 (液态燃料钍基熔盐实验堆; "liquid fuel thorium-based molten salt experimental reactor") is a 2 MW t molten salt reactor (MSR) pilot plant located ...
Yes, the information on the ThorCon reactor is from ThorCon (either from their website, or from their filings with the IAEA). That is the only place I can find the needed information. I am aware that these companies can exaggerate and mislead in providing information on their own product (although I think that is very unlikely in an IAEA filing).
Small modular reactors (SMR) are much smaller than the current nuclear reactors (300 MWe or less) and have compact and scalable designs which propose to offer safety, construction, and economic benefits, and offering potential for lower initial capital investment and scalability.
