Overview

Steenkampskraal Thorium Limited (STL) is a privately owned company with a vision to provide clean, sustainable and safe energy to the world through the development and commercialization of Thorium as a fuel source. STL owns: - The rights to the thorium at the Steenkampskraal monazite mine in South Africa, - A significant share in THOR Energy in Norway, where an irradiation program is underway to characterize and qualify thorium-based fuel for deployment in Light Water Reactors (LWRs), - A completed concept design of the HTMR100 a 35 MWe (100 MWth) pebble bed generator. HTMR100 is a high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) with a thorium-based fuel cycle. Steenkampskraal Thorium Limited (STL) has embarked on a project to produce clean, safe, economical and accessible energy to a wide range of energy consumers. The HTMR100 NPP is an inherently safe, modular pebble bed type reactor that burns thorium fuel spheres and produces less and more acceptable waste compared to other nuclear power generation technologies. The HTMR100 NPP can be constructed in a relatively short time at almost any location. It is predicted that the inherent safety features of the reactor simplify the licensing process significantly compared to other nuclear power generation technologies.
