It will be organized in partnership with the newly founded international Thorium Energy Committee (iThEC). Our local partner iThEC (international Thorium Energy Committee), which constitutes of various Geneva personalities of whom many are closely related to CERN, will ensure the conference is a success through their local and international experience. The purpose of ThEC13 is to review the status of thorium energy technologies, from R&D to industrial developments. It will cover front-end and back-end of the thorium fuel cycle, the use of thorium in critical reactors and in Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS), with particular emphasis on accelerator developments and the destruction of nuclear waste. Following the success of the previous ThEC10 (UK), ThEC11 (USA) and ThEC12 (China), iThEC will use the opportunity and bring together regional actors in the development of thorium energy systems in order to obtain an overview of the activities and promote cooperation.

This will be a unique opportunity to visit one of the LHC experimental underground caverns, as the LHC will be in shutdown mode. The visit will also include the LHC magnet test facility known as SM18. Early registration for the visit is recommended. Thursday October 31, morning Round table discussion and conclusions of the conference Conference subjects – National and international cooperative programs on thorium technologies – New conceptual aspects of thorium energy systems (Cooling, moderation, blanket, containment, safety, etc.) – Thorium properties and resources – Thorium fuel manufacturing – Back-end of the thorium fuel cycle, fuel recovery and recycling – Thorium utilization in critical reactors, neutronic aspects – Thorium utilization in accelerator driven systems (ADS) – Thorium and the elimination of nuclear waste – Safety, proliferation and regulatory issues Registration Follow the steps below to secure your place: 1.
