Thorizon is a French-Dutch company, a spin-off of NRG, the national nuclear research institute of the Netherlands, with offices in Amsterdam and Lyon. Its ambition is to develop an ultra-safe and modular molten salt fast neutron reactor as a step towards closing the fuel cycle. At the same time, Thorizon is launching a funding round to be able to build a non-nuclear molten salt demonstrator within the next three years.
