Scientists have developed a new machine learning approach that accurately predicted critical and difficult-to-compute ...

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.

Since chromium is stable as both Cr 3+ and Cr 2+ in most molten salts, "it is essential to understand how Cr 3+ and Cr 2+ react chemically with species produced in the radiation field of a reactor ...

Molten-salt reactors would be safer, more sustainable, and would produce more power than those in use today. They are not ...

In one, the molten salt includes salts of uranium and/or plutonium. In these elegant designs , the salt is fuel, moderator, and coolant, and reactor geometry controls power. In the reactor section, ...

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.

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 ...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...

For this and for many other complicated reasons, molten salt reactors have largely stayed within the realm of 3D models and blueprints. That is, apart from one exception.

For molten salt reactor designs to succeed, political support and military dollars may again be necessary. Observers of the energy sector have likely noticed a growing interest worldwide in small ...

This research was a product of the Molten Salts in Extreme Environments Energy Frontier Research Center established at Brookhaven National Laboratory by the DOE Office of Science in 2018 to ...
