Abstract
Today there is a lot of attention and ongoing development activities surrounding U-235 nuclear energy systems despite of the decades long accumulation of long lived radioactive spent fuel waste, limited supply of the required purity U-235, high cost of construction etc.

BSCE Systems, Inc., a Virginia Corporation in collaboration with international partners, is spearheading a disruptive U-233 Breeder Burner Technology based on an economic and highly efficient electron accelerators which will breed U-233 from fertile plentiful Thorium supply in a molten salt subcritical reactor.

In this seminar we will touch upon the history of present-day U-235 based reactors as well as explore the futuristic and disruptive Thorium based nuclear energy systems for providing clean air and water for humanity safely and at affordable cost.
