Methane (CH4) pyrolysis, a reaction that produces hydrogen without emitting carbon dioxide, often utilizes molten media ...

There was a 2019 presentation on the SINAP molten salt project and the long-term plans through 2050 for China's molten salt reactors. ... It would proceed to a continuous process of recycling salt, ...

It will proceed to a continuous process of recycling salt, uranium and thorium, with online separation of fission products and minor actinides. The reactor will work up from about 20% thorium fission ...

These bubble column reactors would provide a rather ideal, continuous process where the carbon can be scooped off the surface without contaminating the molten material or the produced hydrogen.

Scientists at the United States Idaho National Laboratory (INL) have announced a breakthrough for the world’s first critical ...

Denatured Molten Salt Reactor (DMSR) ‘30 Year Once Through’ The DMSR was designed in the late 1970s at ORNL as part of a program to develop proliferation-resistant reactors. Denatured fuel contains ...

A molten salt reactor experiment conducted at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, similar in design, ran safety for four years in the 1960s, Berry said.

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 ...

Nuclear plants draw power from this process, ... In one hour, a molten salt reactor may be able to crank out 500,000 kilowatts, enough to power 45 U.S. households for an entire year. 5.

Stable Salt Reactors would be safer than conventional plants because they ditch uranium fuel rods for a molten salt that can't react violently to any situation.
