Abstract

To solve the global energy/environmental problems in the next century a huge-size Fission Industry should be prepared in high public acceptance. It seems to be established by THORIMS-NES(Thorium Molten-Salt Nuclear Energy Synergetics) composed of simple Molten-Salt Fission Reactors (MSR FUJI-series) and 233U producing Accelerator Molten-Salt Breeders (AMSB). These new Th facilities will be developed by utilizing/eliminating the "excess Pu" separated from Pu weapon-heads and the spent-fuel of U-Pu reactors. THORIMS-NES will have big advantages not only in safety and radio waste issues, but also in nuclear-proliferation/terrorism and economy issues.
