Thorium Energy Alliance

Advocacy organization for the promotion of Thorium as an Energy Source. The Thorium Energy Alliance is a 501(c)3 Educational advocacy organization. We are a nonprofit group composed of engineers, scientists, and concerned citizens interested in reducing the cost of energy and protecting the health of the planet and the future of the human race. Our objective is to lay the foundation for a Thorium Energy Future. To arrive at that future as quickly as possible we must educate our leaders and the public on the need to create a working Thorium powered reactor. Research the connection between Thorium and Rare Earths and critical materials - revive the domestic refining of rare earth and Thorium Metal for use in industry as Alloys, Catalysts, Ceramics, Medicines, Coatings, Super conductors and more. Pursue a new approach to the old Molten Salt Reactor system. It is one of T.E.A.'s goals to restart a research reactor program and the infrastructure behind it. There are other approaches to using Thorium in current reactors such as a MOX type fuel rod. There are several companies developing hybrid fuel systems to be used by our existing nuclear infrastructure. The Thorium Energy Alliance supports all uses of Thorium as an energy source .
