Danish innovator Copenhagen Atomics has secured a major financial endorsement from the European Innovation Council (EIC) to ...

Texas Tech University, Abilene Christian University and Natura Resources are moving forward with plans to construct a molten ...

Southern Company and INL’s molten salt test loop marks a major step toward safer, efficient Gen IV nuclear reactors with real-time corrosion monitoring.

So too for molten salt reactors (MSRs), which saw Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) create a number of prototypes, starting in 1954 when the Aircraft Reactor Experiment reached first criticality.

There have been some intriguing stories lately about a different kind of reactor – one cooled by molten salt instead of the more typical water-cooled designs comprising the great majority of the world ...

Most nuclear reactors use water as a coolant. Molten-salt reactors use salts with higher boiling points. Kairos Power is set to build the US's first in decades.

Molten salt reactors (MSRs) represent a fascinating intersection of nuclear history and modern innovation. The concept of using molten salts as both a coolant and fuel carrier dates back to the ...

INL scientists have achieved a major breakthrough in fuel production for next-gen molten salt reactors, overcoming a key hurdle in making these advanced nuclear power systems viable and bringing ...

Several MSR designs are currently under development. While many new designs follow similar principles to the reactors developed in the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment at the US Oak Ridge National ...

The global molten salt reactors market was valued at US$10,350 million in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period 2022-2032.

The Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics - part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences - has been given approval by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment to commission an experimental thorium-powered ...

If Alvin Weinberg, the most renowned director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, were alive today, he would likely agree with Kirk Sorensen, the founder of Flibe Energy Inc., that a molten salt reactor ...
