The experiment aims to provide scientists an opportunity to examine the safety and physics of a molten chloride fast reactor ...

After years of effort, the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) scientists have created fuel for the world’s first fast-spectrum ...

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has cleared a major hurdle in making a Generation IV nuclear reactor practical. Using a ...

This experiment allows researchers and scientists to evaluate the safety and physics of a molten chloride fast reactor that Southern Company and TerraPower plan to build. This type of advanced ...

where he specialized in modeling and simulation of Molten Chloride Fast Reactors and their systems. In his new role, he will focus on shielding design and core optimization for the ODIN ...

In addition, the molten salt fast reactor concept is being considered as a long term option. The most mature fast reactor technology, the sodium cooled fast reactor, has more than 400 reactor-years of ...

Scientists at the INL have found a new recipe for energy through their Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment (MCRE). The MCRE project is testing a new type of nuclear reactor that uses fuel made of a ...

despite using molten salt fuel. This fuel itself is standard low-enriched uranium (LEU) at <5% 235 U, the same as used in virtually every commercial reactor in use today. There are no fast ...
