Sustainability
ThorAtom Inc. is the first Turkish private initiative that takes the lead in developing and implementing innovative technologies that are environmentally innovative, utilizing resources efficiently and without harmful emissions. Nuclear energy production has emerged as the most efficient and cost-effective option in combating the climate crisis. However, for nuclear energy to be sustainable, it is crucial to have a secure supply chain for uranium and thorium, especially. Besides the known reserves of uranium, it is known that there are over 4 billion tons of dissolved uranium reserves in seawater. In Turkey, thorium has reserves of nearly one million tons, which can be used as nuclear fuel for thousands of years. Thus, the preference for fourth-generation sustainable nuclear technologies in Turkey opens up new horizons for our country.
Our Product Development Technology.
Our parent company, FİGES Inc., specializes in “Simulation-Based Design” for over 30 years. The principle of this approach is to identify any potential flaws or shortcomings of a product before its physical realization by applying various usage scenarios on a digital model prepared in a computer environment, resulting in a highly flawless design. A prime example of this is the MILGEM corvette developed and manufactured in the 2010s. This vessel was designed from the ground up using the “Simulation-Based Design” principle in collaboration between the Turkish Naval Forces and FİGES. The crucial feature of being “vibration-free and silent,” vital for a warship, was successfully achieved through this approach.
