Kirk Sorensen is the founder of Flibe Energy. He has been prospecting in libraries for years to learn more about a path not taken (yet). He is convinced that the way forward for energy in the United States and around the world is the molten salt thorium reactor that can produce an almost unlimited amount [...]
Inspiring vision of hope for thorium powered future
Kirk Sorensen is an inspiring speaker and teacher who is motivated by an incredible vision. As he eloquently describes in the video below, he has excavated and dusted off ideas and documentation from the archives at Oak Ridge National Laboratory about using thorium in molten salt reactors. According to back of the envelope calculations by [...]
What do you do with the waste? – Kirk Sorensen’s answers
Gordon McDowell, the film maker who produced Thorium Remix, has released some additional mixes of material gathered for that production effort. One in particular is aimed at those people whose main concern about using nuclear energy is the often repeated question “What do you do with the waste.” Many people who ask that question think [...]
LFTR in Five Minutes – Is thorium better than a silver bullet energy solution?
On October 10, 2011, Thorium Remix became publicly available. The video is worth watching – there is a lot more information than can actually be squeezed into five minutes, so the headline of this post is actually a bit of a tease.
Kirk Sorensen Explains Molten Salt Thorium Reactors to Dr. Kiki – Interview Includes Exciting Info About Bismuth 213 For Cancer Treatment
Kirk Sorensen is one of the most active and articulate advocates of nuclear energy that I know. Listen carefully to this interview and see if you agree.
Thorium Energy Alliance Conference – October 19
I got permission to take a few hours off of my day job yesterday morning to attend a professional event related to future employment. I crossed town on the excellent Metro system to the Florida Ave-Galludet University stop and made my way to the Kellog Conference Center for the opening of the first session of [...]
LFTR – Kirk Sorensen Visits a Tech Paradise to Share His Knowledge About Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors
Kirk Sorensen, one of the most enthusiastic energy geeks I know, spent the 40th anniversary of man’s first walk on the moon talking to a group of Google employees about LFTR. I have written about LFTR’s on Atomic Insights several times in the past; I even gave it a slightly different spelling – Liftr™ – [...]
Kirk Sorensen's Plan to Avert Climate Change – LFTR Presentation at Manchester Report
Kirk Sorensen is one of the most enthusiastic “nukes” I know, with a real passion for sharing his hard won knowledge about using molten salt reactors to convert thorium into a fissile material and ultimately into a heat source for a work producing heat engine. With the help of Charles Barton, Kirk runs the excellent [...]
LiftrTM – A Web 2.0 Name for a Nuclear 4.1 Technology
Now that I have had a chance to view the Google Tech Talk I embedded in my post yesterday evening, I am inspired to make a few suggestions to the loose group of people that are working on Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors. Change the name from LFTR, a bureaucratic looking acronym to LiftrTM – a [...]
