Item 1.01.
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On December 27, 2007, Thorium Power, Inc. (“TPI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant, entered into an agreement for ampoule irradiation testing (the “Agreement”) with the Russian Research Centre Kurchatov Institute (“Kurchatov”). The ampoule irradiation testing program has been ongoing since 2002 pursuant to earlier agreements between TPI and Kurchatov. Under the Agreement TPI agreed to compensate Kurchatov for irradiation testing of TPI’s proprietary nuclear fuel designs conducted in 2006 and 2007. Pursuant to the Agreement, TPI is obligated to pay to Kurchatov $410,000.00, and Kurchatov is obligated to transfer to TPI the worldwide rights in all of the test data generated in the course of the irradiation testing of TPI’s proprietary nuclear fuel designs in 2006 and 2007 and Kurchatov agrees not to use, in any manner, the work product associated with such testing or exercise any rights associated therewith without the written consent of TPI. Further, Kurchatov is obligated to provide to TPI and its affiliates specified information and documentation for audit purposes, and to obtain any and all permits from Russian governmental entities which may be required in order for Kurchatov to perform under the Agreement.
 
The Agreement expires on August 31, 2008, but may be terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days written notice. Provisions regarding the transfer of the irradiation testing data and assignment of rights in that data, confidentiality, and limitations on liability, among other provisions, survive any termination of the Agreement. Additionally, Kurchatov may not assign or transfer the Agreement or any of its rights or obligations created under the Agreement, by operation or law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of TPI.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement which will be filed as an exhibit to the registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
