Texas Tech University, Abilene Christian University and Natura Resources are moving forward with plans to construct a molten ...

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.

Research into the electrochemical behaviour of titanium ions in molten salts has provided significant insight into the complex mechanisms governing extraction, electrodeposition and refining ...

Molten salts, due to their high ionic conductivity at elevated temperatures, serve as excellent media for processes such as electrodeposition, electrorefining and metal extraction.

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.

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 ...

Molten salt reactors (MSRs) are still under development, but could be commercialized “early next decade,” ORNL said. Some MSR designs are intended to operate on liquid fuel, ...

By the mid-2030s, a fleet of smaller floating nuclear power plants (FNPPs) that use “molten salt reactors” could form the largest floating power plant in the U.S. Nuclear innovation company ...

The liquid-fueled molten salt reactors such as the MSRE and the TMSR-LF have distinguishing dynamic features compared with solid-fueled reactors, such that conventional system analysis codes are ...
