'''Copenhagen Atomics''' is a [[Denmark|Danish]] [[molten salt]] technology company developing mass manufacturable [[Molten Salt Reactor|molten salt reactors]]. The company headquarters are co-located with [[Alfa Laval]] in Copenhagen.<ref>{{cite web|title=Alfa Laval Innovation House, Copenhagen|url=https://www.alfalaval.dk/info/denmark/innovation-house/|publisher=Alfa Laval|accessdate=22 December 2019}}</ref><br />

Copenhagen Atomics is pursuing [[small modular reactor|small modular]], [[molten salt|molten fuel salt]], [[thorium fuel cycle]], [[thermal reactor|thermal spectrum]], [[breeder reactor|breeder reactors]] using separated [[plutonium]] from [[spent nuclear fuel]] as the initial fissile load for the first generation of reactors.<ref>{{cite web|title=Advances in Small Modular Reactor Technology Developments|url=https://aris.iaea.org/Publications/SMR-Book_2018.pdf|publisher=International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)|accessdate=22 December 2019}}</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Copenhagen Atomics was founded in 2014 by a group of scientists and engineers meeting at [[Technical University of Denmark]] and around the [[Copenhagen metropolitan area|greater Copenhagen area]] for discussions on [[thorium]] and [[molten salt reactors]], who later incorporated in 2015.<ref>{{cite av media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHO1ebNxhVI|title=Making Safe Nuclear Power from Thorium - Thomas Jam Pedersen - TEDxCopenhagen|date=15 November 2016|publisher=YouTube |accessdate=22 December 2019}}</ref><br />
In 2016, Copenhagen Atomics was part of MIMOSA, a European nuclear molten salt research consortium.<ref>{{cite web|title=Copenhagen Atomics waste burner|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780081011263000233|publisher=ScienceDirect|accessdate=22 December 2019}}</ref><br />
<br />
Copenhagen Atomics became the first private company in 2017, to offer a commercial molten salt loop.<ref>{{cite web|title=Molten Salt Loop 40 liter|url=https://www.amazon.com/Molten-Salt-Loop-40-liter/dp/B077782YD6|website=Amazon|accessdate=22 December 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Copenhagen Atomics - Salt Loop & Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy - Delft Demo|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaeK9u0pWVA|website=YouTube|accessdate=22 December 2019}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Research and development==<br />
Copenhagen Atomics is pursuing a hardware-driven iterative component-by-component approach to reactor development, instead of a full design license and approval approach. Copenhagen Atomics is actively developing and testing valves, pumps, heat exchangers, measurement systems, salt chemistry and purification systems, and control systems and software for molten salt applications.<ref name="youtube.com">{{cite av media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J70XaXbmws |title=Copenhagen Atomics - Thomas Jam Pedersen @ TEAC10 |date=17 November 2019 |publisher=YouTube |accessdate=22 December 2019}}</ref><br />
The company has also developed the world’s only canned molten salt pump and are developing an [[Magnetic Bearings|active electromagnetic bearing]] canned molten salt pump.<ref name="youtube.com">{{cite av media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J70XaXbmws |title=Copenhagen Atomics - Thomas Jam Pedersen @ TEAC10 |date=17 November 2019 |publisher=YouTube |accessdate=22 December 2019}}</ref><br />
<br />
Copenhagen Atomics offers many of their technologies through commercially available pumped molten salt loops for use in molten salt reactor research, high temperature [[concentrated solar power]], [[Thermal_energy_storage#Molten-salt_technology|molten salt energy storage]], and molten salt chemistry research.<ref>{{cite web|title=Products|url=https://www.copenhagenatomics.com/products.php|publisher=Copenhagen Atomics|accessdate=22 December 2019}}</ref><br />
