A clean and easy to manage nuclear power can even be used in space propulsion. This can give us the much needed power to up our game in navy propulsion which is the only missing element in our endeavors. A 20-30 MW power source can power 10-15 thousand homes (2kW per home but with more efficient machines this is likely double in recent years) or equivalent other consumption. This can be miniaturized to fit in several shipping containers. One of the largest technology initiatives that Turkey is going for. Lets hope for the best, this is a savior.Turkey has the second largest Thorium reserves in the world behind Brazil.Molten Salt Reactor Technology Determination Workshop | MARMARA RESEARCH CENTER
Turkey aims to add nuclear technology to its technological inventory within the scope of the decision for “Promoting R&D studies for the attainment of nuclear power and fuel cycle technologies” taken by Supreme Council for Science and Technology at the 29th meeting in 2016.mam.tubitak.gov.tr
Thorium salt reactor is a nuclear reactor without the nasty disadvantages of conventional nuclear reactors. It is safer.
Thorium-based reactors are safer because the reaction can easily be stopped and because the operation does not have to take place under extreme pressures. Compared to uranium reactors, thorium reactors produce far less waste and the waste that is generated is much less radioactive and much shorter-lived.
Tubitak in December 2017 held a workshop to see the feasibility and implementation of this this technology.

Now with Figes they are working on utilising this technology for the purpose of energy production.
Because of it’s safer operation , it would be easier to use the power reactors in large ships and subs.Scientific and Technical Activities - FİGES AŞ
In order to provide Turkey with the Thorium-fueled Molten Salt Reactor (MSR), one of the 4th gen nuclear reactors, and continue assuming the leading role in the field, FİGES organizes and participates in the various scientific and technical conventions. Our purpose is to raise MSR awareness...figes.com.tr
Seems redundant when others have already developed it.Otokar is developing an Active Protection System
