History
Copenhagen Atomics was founded in 2014 by a group of scientists and engineers meeting at Technical University of Denmark and around the greater Copenhagen area for discussions on thorium and molten salt reactors, who later incorporated in 2015. In 2016, Copenhagen Atomics was part of MIMOSA, a European nuclear molten salt research consortium. Copenhagen Atomics became the first private company in 2017, to offer a commercial molten salt loop.Research and development
Copenhagen Atomics is pursuing a hardware-driven iterative component-by-component approach to reactor development, instead of a full design license and approval approach. Copenhagen Atomics is actively developing and testing valves, pumps, heat exchangers, measurement systems, salt chemistry and purification systems, and control systems and software for molten salt applications. The company has also developed the world’s only canned molten salt pump and are developing an active electromagnetic bearing canned molten salt pump. Copenhagen Atomics offers many of their technologies commercially available to the market. This includes pumped molten salt loops for use in molten salt reactor research, as well as highly purified salts for high temperatureEnvironmental Impact
According to the website Thorium Energy World: "The CAWB d. Copenhagen Atomics Waste Burnerwill use thorium to burn out actinides from spent nuclear fuel in order to convert long-lived radioactive waste into short-lived radioactive waste, while producing large amounts of energy and jobs in present time."See also
