Atomic energy technology, politics, and perceptions from a nuclear energy insider who served as a US nuclear submarine engineer officer

The Atomic Show #143 – Thorium Energy Conference Described by John Kutsch

September 26, 2009 By Rod Adams

John Kutsch is one of the key organizers for the Thorium Energy Alliance and is heading up preparations for the organization’s first face to face meeting in Washington on October 19 and 20.

During our conversation we talked about the technology opportunity that brings the group together. They have a vision for a world with abundant, emission free energy supplied by thorium reactors that fully fission a material that is not even in high commercial demand, leaving only relatively short lived fission products behind as a byproduct.
