A brief account of the ThorEA organisation, a loosely based UK group promoting the cause of Thorium ADSR systems. The groups current activities are described, and an invitation extended to take part. Roger Barlow Thorium Energy Status manchester.ac.uk The ThorEA organisation Manchester University and the Cockcroft Institute

18th October 2010Roger Barlow Slide 2/8 ThorEA The Thorium Energy Amplifier Association A research association - A Learned Society - A not-for-profit organisation - to promote the use of thorium-fuelled energy amplifier systems as a safe, sustainable and publicly-acceptable of nuclear power. Goal: the construction of a thorium-fuelled ADSR in the United Kingdom. Methods: Publicity Meetings Research Website

18th October 2010Roger Barlow Slide 3/8 Publicity

18th October 2010Roger Barlow Slide 4/8 Meetings Half-day meetings Held ~4 time / year Across the UK Typically 8-10 talks and people

18th October 2010Roger Barlow Slide 5/8 Keep an eye out for opportunities and submit joint research proposals Score so far: 3/3 Physics of Thorium ADSRs Economics of Thorium ADSRs Spallation as a method of enriching Thorium fuel rods Research

18th October 2010Roger Barlow Slide 6/8 Details of the organisation - Facts about Thorium and ADSRs Links to other sites Website

18th October 2010Roger Barlow Slide 7/8 Membership is open to individual scientists and engineers, to research institutes, and to industrial companies. Individual membership is free of charge We have about 80 members on our mailing list Of these about 40 have agreed to have their names on the website as public 'members of ThorEA' Accelerator scientists Nuclear Physicists Reactor engineers Nuclear chemists Particle physicists Nuclear economists Membership Universities – Manchester, Liverpool, Cambridge, Huddersfield, Bristol, Imperial College...
