  Energy Sources Sources ofElectricity  The major source where we getting electricity is from Fossil Fuels mainly coal.  Next to the coal, gases are used for generating electricity  Hydropower  Nuclear energy  Oil  Others(solar, wind,) July 17, 2019

  July 17, 2019 Whybe need new energy sources? •Today 1.2 billion people in world are living without electricity. •Increasing energy demand •Depleting fossil fuels (Worlds 70% energy demand fulfilled) •We cannot build hydro dam every where. •Wind ,solar energy cannot are not reliable option of energy (space, cost, need of backup plant, need of storage medium) •Uranium Nuclear energy(only 0.7% uranium exist in earth to total matter)

  Thorium as energyoption Thorium-based nuclear power is nuclear reactor-based electrical power generation fuelled primarily by the fission of the isotope uranium-233 produced from the fertile element thorium. Uranium- 233, transmuted from thorium 232, derived from natural mined thorium. July 17, 2019Presentation on Forms of communication

  ADVANTAGES Safety  Stable coolant-Molten fluorides are chemically stable and impervious to radiation  Low pressure operation- Because the coolant salts remain liquid at high temperatures, LFTR cores are designed to operate at low pressures  Leak Resistance -Due to the low pressure operation , the potential for large leaks is also greatly reduced  Easier to control July 17, 2019Presentation on Forms of communication

  Conclusion The energy releasedfrom nuclear fission is approximately 1 million times greater than the energy released from chemical combustion from fossil fuels. Today we rely on Uranium 235 to provide us with our nuclear energy, however this only represents about 0.7% of the Uranium found on the planet (the majority being Uranium-238). The Thorium as energy source can act as a best substitute in meeting demand effectively and can deal with basic environmental problem and can act as safe and reliable energy source.
