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 ...
After five years of research, scientists at the US Idaho National Laboratory (INL) believe they have created the perfect ...
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 (ARE) reached first ...

It will build its small, one megawatt molten salt reactor beneath a newly-completed laboratory at Abilene Christian University, in an underground trench 25 feet deep and 80 feet long, covered by a ...
The southern Netherlands province of North Brabant is investing nearly €4m ($4.28m) to develop a new generation of molten ...
Nuclear technology firm Terrestrial Energy has quietly been making progress on its Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) technology, laying the crucial groundwork for a commercial fleet by the early ...
However, thorium could be used to make a new type of reactor called a molten-salt reactor. Thorium is 'fertile', which means that an atom of thorium can be transformed into an atom of uranium-232 ...
Initially developed in the 1950s, molten salt reactors have benefits in higher efficiencies and lower waste generation. Some designs do not require solid fuel, which eliminates the need for ...
