Welcome
The Weinberg Foundation is a newly created, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to driving the uptake of safe, clean and affordable energy.
Inspired by the compelling evidence behind thorium as a viable alternative to uranium and driven by the vision of safe and abundant nuclear power held and proven by the late Alvin Weinberg in the 1960's, the Foundation was established in September 2011 to act as a communications, debate and lobbying hub to promote thorium energy.
We actively support the rapid development of the Molten Salt Reactor, liquid fuel technology, pioneered by Alvin Weinberg in the 1960's, a promising alternative to uranium solid-fuel. The Foundation is also open-minded to other reactor technologies under development for the same goal: clean, safe and affordable energy for the world.
With Baroness Worthington, Labour Life Peer and climate change campaigner as the Foundation’s Patron, we collaborate with like-minded global organisations and policy makers to drive awareness, research and the commercialisation of cleaner and safer nuclear energy, fuelled by Thorium.
The Foundation operates out of Somerset House in central London.
Dr Alvin Weinberg
Thorium Energy Pioneer
“ The world desperately needs sustainable, low carbon energy to address climate change while lifting people out of poverty. Thorium fuelled reactors, such as the Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) pioneered by the late Alvin Weinberg, could radically change perceptions of nuclear power leading to widespread deployment. ”
-Baroness Worthington, Patron
