Thai power company Global Power Synergy Public Company Limited (GPSC) has signed a memorandum of understanding with Denmark’s Seaborg Technologies to explore the potential deployment of Seaborg’s compact molten salt reactor (CMSR) floating “power barge” in Thailand.
Under the MoU, GPSC and Seaborg will assess how the CMSR power barge could be used in Thailand to support the Southeast Asian country’s transition to net-zero.
The study – expected to take about four years to complete – is intended to explore the use of electricity generated from Seaborg´s Power Barge to feed directly into the grid and to explore the potential use of the steam generated during operations.
