Kirk Sorensen began his work with thorium while working as an aerospace engineer at NASA. In 2010, he left NASA to work as the chief nuclear technologist at Teledyne Brown Engineering. In 2011, he founded Flibe, a company focused on developing modular thorium reactors. Kirk Sorensen’s TED talk

10 Jun 2013 Former NASA engineer Kirk Sorensen has founded a company called Flibe Energy in the US which aims to build a demonstration LFTR.

New fluorination technology may resolve previous challenges, at the 4th MSR Workshop at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, on October 4, 2018. Kirk Sorensen, the founder of Flibe has given presentations several times at my university (BYU) and I can tell you that as of the time of this posting there has been no headway in building a physical prototype. It is a very exciting technology bu Kirk Sorensen Flibe Energy ThEC 2018 October 29, 2018. Fundamental Nuclear Reactor Concept In its simplest form, a nuclear reactor generates thermal energy that is carried away by a coolant. That coolant heats the working ﬂuid of a power conversion system, which generates electricity from part of the Kirk Sorensen of Flibe Energy was happy to speak at the Kentucky Governor's Local Issues Conference in Louisville and describe the benefits to the Commonwealth of thorium technology.

Developer of modular nuclear reactors designed to provide safe and abundant energy from natural thorium. The company's reactors are based on liquid-flouride thorium reactor technology, enabling clients to use electrical energy at low cost by efficiently consuming thorium. Thorium is abundant throughout the Earth’s crust.

Kirk Sorensen has been a leader in promoting thorium energy, molten salt nuclear reactors and the liquid fluoride thorium reactor. Kirk formed the company Flibe Energy back in 2011. Nextbigfuture spoke with Kirk frequently when Kirk blogged at Energy from Thorium. Kirk presented his latest update on work towards a Molten Salt Reactor.

Thorium power R&D programs are Status Completed.

The company's reactors are based on liquid-flouride thorium reactor technology, enabling clients to use electrical energy at low cost by efficiently consuming thorium. Thorium is abundant throughout the Earth’s crust. It is the 36th most plentiful element in the crust–four times as common as uranium, 5,000 times as plentiful as gold and generally as abundant as lead.
