Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a method that can track chemical changes in molten salt in real ...

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has cleared a major hurdle in making a Generation IV nuclear reactor practical. Using a ...

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 trying to find the right ingredients, scientists at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) believe they have ...

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

Thorizon of the Netherlands announced it has secured EUR20 million (USD22 million) in funding to accelerate the development ...

Netherlands-based start-up startup Thorizon, has secured €20m ($16.8m) in funding to accelerate the development of its ...

The lab's Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment (MCRE) is testing a reactor design that replaces traditional fuel rods with a liquid mix of uranium and molten salt.

We do not throw unspent nuclear fuel away, and so our efficiency goes way up. We do not generate the waste that you see with a light-water reactor,” said Robison. “In fact, molten salt reactors can ...

is dissolved directly in the molten salt coolant. The fuel salt mixture serves as both the nuclear fuel and heat transfer medium, eliminating the need for fuel cladding, high-pressure cooling ...
