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

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 ...

Most people who separate their plastic waste for recycling assume the bulk of it will in fact be recycled. But current ...

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.

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 reached first criticality.

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.

Transatomic Power Corporation has released technical information on the design of its molten salt reactor, ... and we're really excited about the next steps in our development process," she said. Fuel ...

SANTA FE, N.M., Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Molten Salt Solutions is pleased to announce the successful close of its Seed funding, securing $3 million from Silicon Valley firms Future Ventures ...

The molten salts are used as the primary coolant and/or fuel for the reactors. Now, Chemical Engineering Asst. Prof. Stephen T. Lam and researchers from MIT and Stony Brook University are working to ...

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is issuing a construction permit for a new type of nuclear reactor that uses molten salt to cool the reactor core.
