“This training is very informative and usefull especially who are interested in the
field of Molten Salt Reactor development. Questions and answers are well-
explained. I personally appreciate what ThorCon did in this program. Good luck
for the grand project for Indonesia!” Zidni Zydan – Gadjah Mada University
“Thanks a lot for ThorCon's training. This work is good news for the Indonesian
nuclear community. I hope ThorCon keep the commitment to build the first
nuclear power plant in Indonesia. Keep spirit always.” Helen Raflis – BAPETEN
“We have spent 7 zoom meetings related to MSR technology and safety
analysis. The material was invaluable to us in understanding the design,
construction, safety, and technology of MSR, developed by ThorCon. We hope
that ThorCon will soon get the opportunity and permit to build the MSR power
plant in Indonesia, contributing to the provision of much-needed electrical energy
for an Indonesia better future.” Syarip – BATAN
