TERRESTRIAL ENERGY
This is next-generation fission technology:
We're developing clean, resilient, cost competitive thermal and electric power plant technology that will forever change how the world produces energy. By using-long proven molten salt Generation IV fission technology in a small modular power plant design, we've created and emission-free, sustainable energy source that can scale up rapidly to meet the worlds energy demands while avoiding greenhouse gas emissions. Protecting our environment and secure national energy supplies are more important than ever = we need a clean, up-to-the-task alternative to importing and burning fossil fuels, deployable at a huge scale. Our IMSR (Integral Molten Salt Reactor) technology fulfills that goal and will be key to our clean energy future.
Molten Salt Generation IV Fission Technology: Generation IV nuclear reactors are a new class of reactors that aim to improve upon current nuclear technology in terms of safety, sustainability, and efficiency. One of the proposed concepts is the use of molten salt as a coolant and fuel carrier. Molten salt reactors have been studied since the 1950s and offer potential advantages, including better safety features and the ability to operate at higher temperatures.
Small Modular Power Plant Design: The use of small modular reactors (SMRs) is gaining traction as an alternative to large conventional nuclear power plants. SMRs are more manageable to construct and have the potential for enhanced safety due to their smaller size and simpler designs.
Emission-Free and Sustainable Energy Source: Nuclear fission, when done correctly, does not emit greenhouse gases during electricity generation, making it a low-carbon energy source. The use of molten salt reactors can potentially improve sustainability by using thorium as a fuel, which is more abundant than uranium and produces less long-lived nuclear waste.
Scalability: The ability to scale up rapidly is crucial for meeting the increasing global energy demands. If the IMSR technology proves to be scalable, it could contribute significantly to the future energy mix.
Environment and National Energy Security: The development of clean and domestically sourced energy technologies is essential for addressing environmental concerns and reducing dependence on fossil fuel imports, enhancing national energy security.
Deployment of Clean Energy: Investing in clean energy alternatives is essential for mitigating the impacts of climate change and transitioning away from carbon-intensive energy sources.
It's worth noting that as of my last update in September 2021, various advanced nuclear reactor designs were under development worldwide. These technologies face regulatory, financial, and public acceptance challenges, as well as competition from other renewable energy sources. However, continued research and development in the field of nuclear energy hold the potential to play a significant role in the global transition to clean and sustainable energy systems.
Next-Generation Nuclear Energy: Clean, Scalable, and Ready for the Future
At the heart of the global energy transition lies an urgent need: to replace carbon-intensive fossil fuels with clean, resilient, and scalable alternatives. We are answering that need with a next-generation nuclear solution—one that redefines how the world produces energy.
We are developing cost-competitive thermal and electric power plant technology powered by molten salt-based Generation IV fission, packaged in a small modular reactor (SMR) design. This breakthrough approach delivers emission-free, sustainable energy—and is designed for rapid deployment at the scale required to meet both global energy demand and climate goals.
Our Technology: The IMSR® Advantage
Our Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR®) technology combines decades of research with innovative engineering to create a fission energy solution unlike any before.
Why This Matters
The world is at an inflection point. As the effects of climate change intensify and global energy demand continues to grow, we must pursue solutions that are clean, reliable, and domestically produced. Importing and burning fossil fuels is no longer a viable path forward.
IMSR® technology offers a secure, sovereign alternative—one that strengthens national energy independence, reduces environmental impact, and supports global decarbonization efforts.
This isn’t theoretical. It’s real technology, grounded in decades of proven science and now engineered for commercial readiness. The IMSR® is the only molten salt reactor design progressing toward near-term regulatory approval and market deployment.
The Road Ahead
The next decade will be decisive. As nations pursue aggressive climate targets, the need for baseload, zero-emissions energy will only increase. While wind, solar, and batteries are important parts of the solution, they cannot meet demand alone. Advanced nuclear—especially scalable solutions like the IMSR®—must play a central role.
At Terrestrial Energy, we are not merely improving existing technologies—we are reimagining the future of energy. Our IMSR® power plants are the cornerstone of a clean, modern, and secure global energy system.
