Molten salt reactors are nuclear's future, ... The technology is very new at the commercial scale, NREL emphasizes, and needs to be developed for safety and best practices.

In 1965, ORNL successfully operated the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE), a proof-of-concept reactor that demonstrated the technology’s feasibility and inherent safety features.

The Santa Monica, Calif.-based energy company SolarReserve has licensed the technology, developed by engineers at Rocketdyne. “Molten salt is the secret sauce,” said SolarReserve President ...
