The Natura Resources MSR-1, a liquid-fueled molten salt reactor was licensed last year by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ...

LURAY, June 26 — On Thursday, the Town of Luray issued a notice to all residents and municipal water customers that the long-held practice of adding fluoride to the Town’s drinking water will cease in ...

Natural trees with uniquely aligned microchannels and water transportation capability bring inspiration to design high-performance biomimetic materials. Herein, a biomimetic aerogel reactor with ...

The second design is a liquid fuel model, in which fissile material (uranium or thorium) is dissolved into a molten salt-based coolant. Here, the molten fluoride salt is at 1400°C boiling point and is ...

Scientists have made liquid carbon in a lab for the first time, Interesting Engineering reported. Liquid carbon was thought to be impossible to study under normal conditions. The material only exists ...

China has achieved a major milestone in clean energy generation, as scientists have built the world’s first working thorium molten salt reactor.

Using a Drude-based polarizable model, we investigate the liquid–vapor interface of hydrogen fluoride (HF) via molecular dynamics simulations. The interface displays a complex morphology with ...

For decades, thorium reactors have been considered the “solid-state batteries” of nuclear power—vastly superior in theory, yet always just out of reach. But that may be about to change ...

Thorium reactors are considered the solid-state batteries of nuclear power, boasting advantages yet to be fully realized. A Danish company is making significant strides towards realizing ...
