Researchers at the US Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have demonstrated a new method to track chemical changes in ...

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 ...

The state is aggressively pushing to deploy the next generation of atomic energy that would power big industrial operations.

The concept was pioneered decades ago at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. A molten salt reactor ran for several years in the late 1960s before the project ended. However, a group of ...
