ThorCon: Cheap, Reliable, CO2-Free Electricity by Lars Jorgensen @ ThEC2018

http://thorconpower.com/ ThorCon demonstration plant's safety and economics case are being studied by Indonesia Ministry of Energy in conjunction with Indonesia electric utility PLN. The study began in January of 2019 and is expected to be completed in June of 2019, with recommendations to be presented to the President of Indonesia.

PowerMag also published a feature on ThorCon in May of 2019. https://www.powermag.com/a-thorium-molten-salt-reactor-when-and-where-you-need-it/

"ThorConIsle is an offshore 500-MWe thorium molten salt reactor constructed inside a ship’s hull, ready to provide power from navigable waterways. The ThorCon “pot” operates at a pressure of 3 bar gauge, similar to garden hose pressure, has one moving part—the pump impeller—and uses a four-loop steam cycle, attaining 45% efficiency."

Lars Jorgensen's talks and interviews were recorded in Brussels at Thorium Energy Conference 2018 at the end of October. http://www.thoriumenergyworld.com/conference-2018.html

Moments from an additional interview with Lars Jorgensen were captured in 2015 at TEAC7, and are also used in this video edit.
