The Odessa American is the leading source of local news, information, entertainment and sports for the Permian Basin.

The newly developed dynamic model significantly advances the understanding of molten salt reactor (MSR) behavior by accurately capturing the interplay between xenon transport, delayed neutron ...

One MSR design simply replaces water with molten salt, circulating the molten salt through the fuel to remove the heat produced by nuclear fission (keeping the reactor cool) and transferring that heat ...

Molten salt nuclear reactors (MSR) also have unique passive methods of preventing nuclear disasters. Some plants are equipped with what's known as a "freeze plug" in the reactor chamber.

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 ...
