iTRIDENT : India's Thorium Power Revolution Launches

BENGALURU, India - Oct. 15, 2025 - PRLog -- In a landmark stride toward clean energy leadership and technological sovereignty, the NeXorbi Scientific & Industrial Research Federation (NSIRF) has officially launched Project iTRIDENT — India's Thorium Research & Development Initiative for Indigenous Nuclear Technology.

Project iTRIDENT represents India's next great leap in nuclear innovation, focused on mastering Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) technology — a new-age, safe, and sustainable energy system capable of transforming the nation's energy landscape. By harnessing India's vast reserves of Thorium, the project aims to establish a cleaner, safer, and self-reliant pathway to meet future power demands.

Core Goals of Project iTRIDENT

• National Infrastructure Creation: Establishment of the NeXorbi Thorium Science & Engineering Facility (NTSEF) — India's first dedicated Thorium R&D hub.
• Advanced Reactor Development: Advancing MSR design to Technology Readiness Level 7 (Engineering-Ready Status) in collaboration with leading national institutes.
• Cross-Sectoral Innovation: Extending research applications to space exploration, ocean research, and industrial technologies.
• Strategic National Collaboration: Building a consortium with BARC, IGCAR, and Premier IITs to unify India's scientific and engineering capabilities under one strategic R&D vision.

A National CSR Partnership Opportunity

The project opens a high-impact avenue for corporate CSR partnerships, enabling visionary organizations to directly contribute to India's clean energy mission and R&D backbone.

CSR partners can support:

• TAMTI (Talent & Manpower Training Initiative): Developing a specialized workforce for advanced nuclear technologies.
• IN-SCIP (Indigenous Nuclear Startup & Component Incubation Program): Supporting deep-tech startups working on critical components and indigenous innovation.

"Project iTRIDENT is not just about nuclear research — it's about securing India's technological sovereignty, fostering innovation ecosystems, and building the clean energy foundation for generations to come,"
— NSIRF Project Directorate

Through strategic collaboration between research institutions, industries, and the corporate sector, NSIRF envisions iTRIDENT as a symbol of India's scientific strength and self-reliance in the global clean energy race.
