The National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC) has officially unveiled its Molten Salt Thermophysical Examination ...
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 ...
Idaho National Laboratory has produced what the Department of Energy describes as the first batch of fuel for the world’s first fast-spectrum molten salt reactor, clearing one of the longest-standing ...
Chemists report that radiation-induced chemical reactions may help mitigate the corrosion of metals in a new type of nuclear reactor cooled by molten salts. High temperatures and ionizing radiation ...
MoltexFLEX scientists worked with the University of Manchester's Nuclear Graphite Research Group to use X-ray micro CT scanners to investigate how molten salt infiltrates pores within standard ...
