SUMMARY:9th Eminent Guest Lecture on Sustainable Clean Thorium Energy
DESCRIPTION:The Office of Dean-Research\, SRM University-AP hosts the 9th Eminent Guest Lecture by renowned academician Dr Ganapati Myneni\, Director\, VT-India Nuclear Energy Partnership and Adjunct Faculty\, Virginia Tech\, Virginia\, USA on March 23\, 2026. \nTitle of the Talk – “Clean Air and Water with Sustainable Clean Thorium Energy” \nAbstract \nClean air and water are essential to the health of living beings. Solar\, wind\, and hydro power sources are helping to some extent to reduce the polluting CO2 and NOX emissions. However\, we need distributed base load reliable power that can also serve as backup to intermittent renewable energy sources. Nuclear is the obvious choice. \nIn this presentation\, let us explore the Photonuclear eMMR (Advanced Subcritical Molten Salt Reactor)\, which is being developed by BSCE (Brahma Sakti Clean Energy) as a collaboration with many international Institutions. The eMMR represents a paradigm shift due to its unique U-233 breeder and burner disruptive technology. The eMMR utilises a molten salt (FLiBe) with the addition of ThF fuel. The photo neutrons that will allow breeding of U-233 from fertile Thorium are internally produced with commercially available electron accelerators that are highly reliable. These low-cost eMMRs of 1 MWth are uniquely positioned to be built at several Institutions for training the much-needed nuclear workforce for fulfilling the SHANTI Act of 2025. \nThe Photonuclear eMMR provides a scalable\, non-proliferative solution to the industrial sector’s thermal energy demands as well\, offering a path to full decarbonization without compromising high-temperature performance.
