DBI/Century Fuels offers a clean, green, safe and cost effective nuclear solution to the energy crisis and global climate change.
Since the late 1960’s, Hector A. D’Auvergne, DBI’s founder, has been conducting research on the use of the element thorium as a primary nuclear fuel that has the potential to reduce and ultimately eliminate the need for uranium as a nuclear fuel. With the elimination of uranium from the nuclear fuel cycle, the potential for producing weapons-grade plutonium is also eliminated, thereby resulting in safe, single-use nuclear reactors that supply power at 4 to 7 cents per kilowatt-hour.
The company’s thorium reactor designs provide the world with a nuclear alternative to fossil fuel consumption enabling countries to take advantage of the abundant and widely available thorium deposits to achieve energy independence.
DBI/Century Fuels’s vision is to design and license technology for highly proliferation resistant commercial nuclear fuel and for use in DBI-designed safe modular nuclear reactor systems that minimize radioactive waste. These DBI-designed reactors will have low fabrication, installation and operational cost compared to currently available systems that use either nuclear or fossil fuels.
