Copenhagen Atomics

Copenhagen Atomics is a Danish molten salt technology company developing mass manufacturable molten salt reactors. The company headquarters are co-located with Alfa Laval in Copenhagen.

Copenhagen Atomics is pursuing small modular, molten fuel salt, thorium fuel cycle, thermal spectrum, breeder reactors using separated plutonium from spent nuclear fuel as the initial fissile load for the first generation of reactors.

History
Copenhagen Atomics was founded in 2014 by a group of scientists and engineers meeting at Technical University of Denmark and around the greater Copenhagen area for discussions on thorium and molten salt reactors, who later incorporated in 2015.
In 2016, Copenhagen Atomics was part of MIMOSA, a European nuclear molten salt research consortium.

Copenhagen Atomics became the first private company in 2017, to offer a commercial molten salt loop.

Research and development
Copenhagen Atomics is pursuing a hardware-driven iterative component-by-component approach to reactor development, instead of a full design license and approval approach. Copenhagen Atomics is actively developing and testing valves, pumps, heat exchangers, measurement systems, salt chemistry and purification systems, and control systems and software for molten salt applications.
The company has also developed the world’s only canned molten salt pump and are developing an active electromagnetic bearing canned molten salt pump.

Copenhagen Atomics offers many of their technologies through commercially available pumped molten salt loops for use in molten salt reactor research, high temperature concentrated solar power, molten salt energy storage, and molten salt chemistry research.
