There have been some intriguing stories lately about a different kind of reactor – one cooled by molten salt instead of the more typical water-cooled designs comprising the great majority of the world ...

Southern Company and INL’s molten salt test loop marks a major step toward safer, efficient Gen IV nuclear reactors with real-time corrosion monitoring.

ACU’s molten salt research reactor (MSRR) will be the first deployment of the Natura MSR-1, a 1 megawatt thermal molten salt reactor system. This construction permit is only the second ever for ...

ORNL operated two experimental molten salt reactors in the 1950s and 1960s, but the United States has none in operation now. While their safety, efficiency and potential to generate radioisotopes has ...

Several MSR designs are currently under development. While many new designs follow similar principles to the reactors developed in the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment at the US Oak Ridge National ...

Scientists at the United States Idaho National Laboratory (INL) have announced a breakthrough for the world’s first critical fast-spectrum molten salt reactor. It is the perfect recipe of the ...

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 ...

There are three types of pyrolysis: slow pyrolysis, fast pyrolysis, and flash pyrolysis. Each has unique process temperature and residence times. Slow pyrolysis operates from 300°C to 550°C, with a ...

Kairos is trying to reinvent nuclear power. Its molten-salt-cooled reactor could generate safe, reliable, carbon-free electricity that’s potentially as cheap as power generated from natural gas.

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 ...
