“We’ve just made a fifty-quadrillion-dollar discovery.”
— Glenn T. Seaborg, to John Gofman, upon discovering thorium’s conversion to fissile uranium-233, 1942. Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1951. Chairman, U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, 1961–1971.
The Thesis
Three Revenue Pillars.
One Core.
One 220 MWth core. Three revenue pillars. The Tesseract TGR delivers ~100 MWe of firm, dispatchable electricity via combined cycle — the highest-margin baseload power on the market. The same core supplies 750°C process heat directly to industry. And every hour of operation banks a long-dated isotope option in Ac-225.

Firm Dispatchable Power

~100 MWe via combined cycle from a single 220 MWth core. Clean, firm, baseload electricity that runs 24/7 regardless of weather — the highest-margin power product on the grid. No intermittency. No storage required.

Industrial Process Heat

Steel, cement, ammonia, hydrogen, chemicals. The backbone of industrial civilization requires continuous heat above 400°C. No scalable clean solution exists today. The Tesseract TGR delivers 750°C helium directly to industry.

The Thorium Dividend

Most reactors produce spent fuel treated as a liability. Ours accumulates Thorium-229, the precursor to Actinium-225, a radioisotope being studied for targeted cancer therapy. The physics are embedded. The option compounds with every hour of operation.

Strategic Context
We Invented This.
We Walked Away.
In the 1960s, Oak Ridge National Laboratory operated the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment, proving the viability of the thorium fuel cycle under Nobel laureate Glenn Seaborg and Alvin Weinberg. The technology was a triumph of American ingenuity, abandoned not for technical failure but for policy shifts toward plutonium-based cycles.

The Mobilization Gap

While the U.S. rested on its declassified research, China made thorium a national imperative. In 2024, Beijing successfully operated the world’s first thorium-to-uranium conversion reactor. They have secured a 60,000-year supply of thorium and are aggressively scaling commercial deployment with 100% domestically-produced components.

The United States does not have a knowledge gap. We have a strategic mobilization gap. Zero operating thorium reactors. No domestic thorium fuel fabrication. Continued reliance on foreign enrichment for 97% of our uranium supply.

This is not a competition over electricity. China already has plenty of that.

The Platform
Tesseract™ TGR
A high-temperature gas-cooled reactor delivering firm power, industrial heat, and a long-dated isotope option — from a single core.
TGR Core

Built for Power. Designed for Sovereignty.

The Tesseract TGR is a 220 MWth pebble-bed reactor cooled by helium and fueled by TRISO, the most robust fuel form in nuclear engineering. Each fuel particle is its own microscopic containment vessel, rated to 1,600°C+.

Via combined cycle, the platform converts to ~100 MWe of firm, dispatchable electricity. It simultaneously delivers 750°C outlet temperature for direct industrial heat to steel mills, chemical plants, hydrogen production facilities, and data center campuses.

Safety Enforced by Physics
No active systems required. Passive safety demonstrated at commercial scale. China’s HTR-PM validated the pebble-bed HTGR architecture at 200 MWth in 2023.

Negative Temperature Coefficient

As temperature rises, reactivity drops. The physics won’t allow runaway.

TRISO Micro-Containment

Every fuel particle is its own containment vessel. SiC barrier rated to 1,600°C+.

Passive Heat Removal

Natural conduction and radiation. No pumps. No operator action. No external power.

He

Helium Coolant

Chemically inert. Single phase. No hydrogen pathway. No zirconium-steam risk.

The Unsolved Problem
The Clean Energy Gap
No One Has Solved
Everyone is focused on electricity. The industrial processes that build and sustain an economy have no clean heat source above 400°C.

The Thorium Dividend
Spent Fuel as a Strategic Asset
The thorium fuel cycle produces something no other reactor can. A pathway to Actinium-225, a radioisotope under active clinical study for targeted cancer therapy.
Th-232
Thorium absorbs neutrons in the reactor core, breeding fissile uranium.
↓ neutron capture + β decay
U-233
Fissile fuel produced inside TRISO. Powers the reactor. Begins a long decay chain.
↓ alpha decay · 159,200 yr half-life
Th-229
The strategic asset. Accumulates automatically in spent fuel at zero cost.
↓ alpha decay → Ra-225 → beta decay
Ac-225
Alpha-emitting radioisotope under study for targeted cancer therapy. Travels only a few cell diameters. Spares surrounding tissue.

Physics-Linked Upside

Ac-225 accumulation is a non-extractive byproduct of our primary heat cycle. It is not modeled in our base case. We treat it as embedded optionality, unlocked only with a permitted processing pathway and GMP-compliant supply chain.

Global supply of Ac-225 is severely constrained relative to projected clinical demand. A fleet of thorium reactors accumulates Th-229 inventory over decades of normal operation, creating a long-dated call option that compounds with time.

Our base case does not depend on isotopes. The upside is structural, not speculative.
Why Thorium Atomics
Structural Advantages
That Can’t Be Bolted On
01

No HALEU Dependency

Most advanced reactor designs require High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium, a supply chain that does not yet exist at commercial scale. We launch on standard LEU available from domestic suppliers today.

02

Highest Outlet Temperature

750°C enables direct industrial heat delivery. Conventional reactors operate at 300°C. Sodium-cooled designs reach ~500°C. The gap between 500 and 750 is where heavy industry operates.

03

Domestic Fuel Sovereignty

Thorium is 3–4x more abundant than uranium with massive, untapped American reserves. As our fuel cycle matures, dependence on foreign enrichment supply chains approaches zero.

04

Isotope Optionality

The thorium fuel cycle is the only pathway that produces Th-229 as a natural byproduct, the parent isotope for Ac-225. This requires purpose-built physics, not a retrofit.

05

Time-Based Moat

Th-229 accumulates over decades of reactor operation. Even if a competitor started today on thorium, they would be decades behind in stockpile accumulation. Time is the barrier.
