Implementation review of ThorCon molten salt reactor in Indonesia

ThorCon Molten Salt Reactor (ThorCon MSR) is a 4^th generation fuel NPP designed by Martingle Inc. United States of America. This NPP is a molten salt fuel, liquid-cooled refrigerant, operating at high temperatures and low pressure approaching atmospheric pressure. NPP is 1000 MWe generated by 4 modules with 250 MWe each power. This paper aims to describe and give an overview to stakeholders about feasibility of ThorCon MSR when it will be implemented in Indonesia. The methodology used is to study the various libraries of ThorCon technology, the availability of human resources, national participation and regulation, and is done by SWOT analysis (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). This type of nuclear power plant is feasible to be implemented in the long term in Indonesia because it has a high safety system, and is easy to construct but various obstacles still need to be resolved such as technology status is still conceptual design, human resources are not yet available, and have not been certified by authorized institution.
