No. It is extremely hard to produce nukes from Thorium because of impurities. When thorium becomes uranium a shit ton of other elements pollute the uranium and removing those elements and purifying uranium is extremely costly and hard.

Yea .. i know about uranium 235 and 238 thing .. thorium has restrictions also afaik

 

[CAN_TR]

BIG NEWS very important and right step for Türkiye.

It is not just uranium 232 bunch of other fissile by-products pollute the uranium by producing hard gamma rays that can damage electronics. A bomb is doable but nukes are already a very expensive business why go to the lengths to produce it from Thorium.

Isnt thorium dragged under the same category of uranium as regard the constrictions ?

No.

You can breed U-233 from Th- 232 (the main isotope) with a heavy neutron source (a reactor of some kind)... but weaponising U-233 is a different complicated matter.

The path of proven least resistance there is U-235 and Pu-239...and hence those attract the largest controls/regulation regimes internationally.

Thorium trade is unhindered and is considered quite low in WMD-risk + proliferation (as the country interested has to develop a whole significant different branch for it....which will be detected early).

Turkey targets nuclear and local gas to reduce energy imports

Deputy minister says country can help EU strengthen supply security

asia.nikkei.com

• Marisa Lago, the U.S. Commerce Department's undersecretary for international trade, hosted the Eurasia Small Modular Reactor Forum in Ankara last week to tout American solutions. U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Jeffry Flake visited him at the ministry earlier to discuss the potential introduction of small modular reactor (SMR) technology to Turkey.
• The deputy minister said Ankara is in talks with China to build four large-scale nuclear reactors in the Thrace region of northwestern Turkey. "Some significant progress toward an intergovernmental agreement between Turkey and China"
• The deputy minister also hinted that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan soon will announce a massive renewable energy investment plan including solar and wind power.
• Bayraktar said his ministry is in contact with countries like Japan, the U.S. and Germany on renewable energy, hydrogen as well as battery technologies.

The next milestone should be when Türkiye does not burn natural gas for electric generation.

I thought this was the only Wind Turbine Project in Turkey but that seem to be not the case.
There is at least one other Project.

1. Turbine Project MilRes

The Project was initiated in 2011.

The Factory is to be established and they haven't really started its construction yet, after 12 Years.

The Statement they put out 8 Months ago:

During the visit, the MILRES factory, which will be established in Balıkesir Dursunbey OSB, with an investment size of 165.000.000 TL, was discussed within the scope of the Ministry of Industry Investment Incentive. Within the scope of the meeting, the technical specifications and capacities of the turbines, which will be produced with 100% local technology and 100% locality, and the company's public offering process were evaluated.

> Locality Rate seems very ambitous.

2. YEKA-RES (Tender from 2017)

I was reading this article about Konya Karapinar Solar Farm

Avrupa'nın en büyük GES'i aralıkta tamamlanacak, 2 milyon kişinin elektriğini karşılayacak

Kalyon Holding Yönetim Kurulu Başkanı Kalyoncu, Konya Karapınar'da hayata geçirdikleri güneş enerjisi santralinin (GES) aralıkta tamamının biteceğini belirterek, "Yıllık 2 milyon kişinin elektriğini karşılayacak." dedi. - Anadolu Ajansı

www.aa.com.tr

I noticed that Kalyon CEO mentioned YEKA RES-1

"Currently, we are producing solar energy panels in Turkey with 85 percent locality. We will do something new.

This will be a surprise. At the moment, our goal is to produce wind turbines in Turkey. There is currently no production. Today, towers, blades and generators of wind turbines can be produced in Turkey. "We aim to produce wind turbines in our country with a locality of more than 65 percent. We have an experienced and large staff and technical team involved in our work. We are working on this. It will be a huge gain for our country. We will be a company that exports high technology, not imports."

> Locality Rate seems lower than MilRes with approx. 65%

About the Tender and Winner:

The YEKA WPP competition organized by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources - General Directorate of Renewable Energy was won by
Kalyon-Türkerler-Siemens Consortium on 03.08.2017 with a price of 3.48 USD Cent/ kWh.
The YEKA Contract issued between Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources - General Directorate of Renewable Energy and Kalyon-Türkerler-Siemens Consortium has been signed on 26.02.2018.
The consortium undertaken the factory installation that will manufacture turbines with a minimum 65% locality rate and it will carry out the R&D activities. Domestic employment will be provided in factory at the level of 90% and in R&D activities at the level of 80%.

YEKA RES Elektrik, 1000 MW’lık 6 RES kuracak

YEKA RES Elektrik, kazandığı YEKA ihaleleri kapsamında, Edirne, Eskişehir, Kırklareli ve Sivas’ta toplam 1000 MW gücünde 6 adet Rüzgar Enerjisi Santrali (RES) kurup işletecek.

> 1000 MW Distribution of the Farms

"In his statement, Cemal Kalyoncu stated that the Karapınar YEKA GES-1 project, which is under construction, will be completed in December this year,
and that they plan to start the investment of the 1,000 MW YEKA RES-1 project in 2023."

> Kalyon in 2023 with their own Wind Turbine Factory Investment.

> The 2 Projects could have their Factories at a similar timeframe.

Also noteworthy in the same Year (2017) the same Group (Kalyon) won the tender for the Solar Panel Factory in Ankara.

Karapınar YEKA 1 GES ihalesini Kalyon-Hanwha Grubu kazandı!

Karapınar Enerji İhtisas Endüstri Bölgesi'ndeki 1000 megavat (MW) kapasiteli Karapınar YEKA 1 GES İhalesini 6,99 dolar cent/kWh teklifiyle Kalyon Hanwha organ girişim grubu kazandı.

YEKA ihalesi sonuçlandı! İşte kazanan grup

www.hurriyet.com.tr

With KalyonPV they did a good job though, the Factory was supposed to have a capacity of 500MW and now they have 1250MW with more than 2100 Employees

In the production facility, starting from the raw material polysilicon, Billet (Ingot), Sliced Ingots (Wafer) and Cells and Panels are manufactured.
Kalyon PV Factory is one of the few projects in the world due to its locality rate, as it gathers 4 stages (Ingot, Wafer, Cell, Panel) under one roof.

the amount of business we do with China makes me wanna puke.We have to limit the Chinese involvement in nuclear power plants and go ALL IN on SMRs. That includes indigenous design and fuel sourcing too.

Australian researchers develop a new technique that stores hydrogen in powders particularly boron compounds. Good news for boron miners and electric propulsion developers.

Mechanochemical breakthrough unlocks cheap, safe, powdered hydrogen

Australian scientists say they've made a "eureka moment" breakthrough in gas separation and storage that could radically reduce energy use in the petrochemical industry, while making hydrogen much easier and safer to store and transport in a powder.

We’re still exporting way too much raw bor. Reduce the amount and force companies abroad to establish production in Turkey.

When economies of scale are met for specific products investment can be made by foreigners and locals alike. Türkiye has a favorable investment environment and it is more like pull rather than push for investment.
