The Silent Nuclear Revolution
This Fireside Conversation features Mr. Thomas Pedersen, who co-founded Copenhagen Atomics in 2015. The young Danish company has set out to revolutionize the energy sector. With their innovative technology, using Thorium instead of uranium in their molten-salt reactors, they can generate energy more safely, efficiently, and much cheaper than traditional nuclear reactors – or other energy sources, like wind or solar, for that matter.
This Fireside Conversation features Mr. Thomas Pedersen, who co-founded Copenhagen Atomics in 2015. The young Danish company has set out to revolutionize the energy sector.
With their innovative technology, using thorium instead of uranium in their molten-salt reactors, they can generate energy more safely, efficiently, and much cheaper than traditional nuclear reactors – or other energy sources, like wind or solar, for that matter.
Thomas explains how their technology works, where in the business development process they are, and what challenges they are facing.
One of the biggest takeaways from this Conversation is the exciting things going on in the nuclear sector! Technologies have advanced much further and no longer resemble the ones usually associated with Fukushima or the traditional nuclear power plants of the past 30-50 years.
We believe developments like these are worth learning about for all of us, as we are more dependent on energy supply than we sometimes realize. Unequivocally, and putting it in the words of Copenhagen Atomics: ‘Energy truly equals prosperity.‘
