Many lessons can be learned from nuclear reactor accidents such as Chernobyl (1986) and Fukushima Daiichi (2011). This accident provided valuable input in the development of technology and the design of nuclear power plants to become safer. As Lesson learned from the Fukushima Daiichi accident, more back-up redundancy is needed in different places. Increase grace period, do not depend on technology, do not depend on electricity instead use natural physics law for critical safety system. This can be applied to the ThorCon design and makes the ThorCon design has many advantages from the aspect of the safety system.
ThorCon as a nuclear power plant produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation, and over its life cycle, nuclear power produces the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide emissions like wind power, and a third of the emissions compared to solar power.
