The Thorium Network

Learn from our website everything you need to know about Molten Salt Fission Energy Technology^TM powered by Thorium.

We have the world’s first commercial nuclear blockchain. Here, now. We have developed not only a viable solution for safe, reliable tracking of radioisotopes, but we’ve developed robust business verticals to support our endeavor of a worldwide network of democratic civilian energy production from safe, secure molten salt fission technology.

And we will have tokens too. Future plans mean being able to own tokens that can be exchanged for energy produced from Thorium Molten Salt Fission Technology.

We are excited. Explore our website, follow our social media, join our Telegram channel and become excited too.

“There is no credible path to climate stabilization that does not include a substantial role for nuclear power.” – J. Hansen, Climatologist, Former head of NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies

The Thorium Network was formed in late 2017 following a meeting with the government of a nuclear country that was formerly part of the USSR. The meeting was to negotiate obtaining their spent nuclear fuel from their nuclear power generation facilities. It became clear that the status quo for fission energy had to go. We were in the 2nd decade of the 21st century, with unparalleled access to information and people like never before, yet many are using systems – and attitudes – from the 1950’s. There just had to be a different way. After a bit of thinking it became a natural combination: blockchain and fission energy – for civilian energy production.

We call it “fission”, not nuclear. We use “burners”, not reactors. And what waste? The quantities from traditional fission energy production are rounding errors when compared to what other energy energy technologies leave behind. That means the quantities of waste are insignificant. When you use Molten Salt technology, the environmental footprint becomes infinitesimal.

And there’s Blockchain, Distributed Ledger Technology. Whereas the internet is a data superhighway, Blockchain is data integrity – “Fort Knox” for data. Secure, Transparent, Immutable, incorruptible. What better tool is there for an energy source rife with fear, uncertainty and doubt – all through lack of proper information, lack of the truth.

Now that we are in the age of information, the data revolution, The Thorium Network brings that same thinking to tried and proven technology more than half a century old.

Our isotope management system is alive and active. Called Honey Badger^TM, this logistics management system uses the power of Blockchain to provide security and transparency for all radioisotopes. And for life-saving medical isotopes, Honey Badger^TM keeps them on time, every time.

We take inspiration from the honey badger as a highly intelligent, strong, and ferocious animal that is incredibly tough and resilient. Honey badgers are tenacious, stubborn, and will relentlessly pursue their way of getting medical isotopes from point A to point B as efficiently as possible using blockchain technology.

Moving a medical isotope is a bit like moving melting ice – you have much less at the end than when the journey started. Time is not on your side. Thus the efficient transportation of the material is absolutely essential. Moving things over a long distance rapidly increases costs. If everyone involved can see everything, then we can move the melting ice more efficiently, with less hassle and with fewer mistakes. Honey Badger^TM is a fully transparent, unhackable, unchangeable, indefinitely long digital storage medium blockchain developed by The Thorium Network.

Why? Medical isotopes are time-sensitive material that requires the same scrutiny and security as nuclear fuel. Globally there are 7 international manufacturers of isotopes. To get the material to where it is needed it needs to cross international borders and be ordered up to 8-weeks in advance to account for production delays and administrative delays. This requires input from nuclear regulators of both countries, as well as permissions over every country transversed. Before the isotope can be ordered even the medical aid needs to give permission as most patients cannot afford the high cost of this life-saving material without insurance. If a local producer is not operational, the cost of material becomes too expensive. As the full value chain is transparent, no one on the supply chain is willing to trust anybody else. Thus, the implementation of a trustless transparent system will enable all to come to the negotiation table and do what is best for the patient.

All of this requires paperwork that needs to be filled in and be carried by whoever is currently in possession of it. The problems faced by paperwork include late delivery, incorrect paperwork, incorrect labeling, inability to contact the driver and a late change of aircraft can mean less material allowed to be carried and some patients will not get their treatments on time.

Modern-day computers and smartphones have more storage and processing power than in the past, however, all of this paperwork is still not accepted digitally as the possibility of manipulating the paperwork for malicious reasons is too high. The Honey Badger^TM blockchain is the answer, as all information placed on the blockchain is unhackable, unchangeable, transparent, and will remain on record indefinitely. What’s extra is that whoever is in possession of the material can access all paperwork on their smart devices and, in conjunction with Smart Contracts, will reduce errors in the supply chain of nuclear materials.

Added benefits of using blockchain technology are:

• Digitization of the complete supply chain
• Transparent information to all necessary parties
• Ability to speed up procurement of life-saving isotopes
• Pre Approval of transport across borders from all interested parties
• Complete transparency of the complete value chain
• Ability to build an integrated backup system, in case the primary system fails, thus ensuring the package will arrive on time with the desired quantity
• Reliability in terms of transportation requirements

Imagine you are a country wanting to develop or expand your heavy industry. Or you have a rapidly expanding population. You need reliable, sustainable energy and lots of it. How will you get it? Conventional power sources like coal, gas, and oil are high emitters of CO2, vast consumers of land, and environmental hazards. Furthermore, you will need to supply these power plants with a constant supply of fuel, 24/7 forever. Your other options are limited. Solar and wind are fast becoming incapable of providing the on-demand baseload power required for your industry to survive. You are running out of biomass to burn. And you have used up your available hydro resources.

The only option left with low CO2 output and 24/7 reliability is Nuclear Fission Energy. But where do you start? You need help.

Now imagine a team of experts who can come and effectively build your nuclear program to IAEA – and hence international – expectations. They guide you in the development of the nuclear program from the regulator. This includes licensing, construction, fuel management, operations, and decommissioning, including radioactive material handling. This team will help to develop the necessary training and infrastructure and will act as advisors to you to build this program. They help you to select the best technology for your needs and operations while adhering to strict nuclear security standards. That is who we are – SAFE Fission Consult^TM
