China has reportedly achieved the world's first successful thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion in an operational molten salt reactor, potentially reshaping global nuclear energy and shifting ...

A novel nuclear reactor currently under construction at the Abilene Christian University (ACU) in Texas will help generate carbon-free energy while also desalinating water, solving two problems at ...

Molten salt reactor developer Thorizon announced it has secured broad industrial and regional support in the Netherlands for ...

Although to most the term ‘fission reactor’ brings to mind something close to the commonly operated light-water reactors (LWRs) which operate using plain water (H 2 O) as coolant and with sluggish, ...

China has unveiled plans for a groundbreaking cargo ship that could change the future of global shipping. The vessel is set to be the world’s largest nuclear-powered cargo ship and will be fueled by ...

Molten salt reactors, a scientific innovation previously passed over by the Department of Energy, are gaining momentum as the next "big thing" in clean energy production. The Oak Ridge National ...

Denmark's Hyme Energy wants to save decommissioned fossil-fuel heat and power plants by repurposing them as super-cheap renewable energy storage and release facilities, using cutting-edge molten salt ...

If Alvin Weinberg, the most renowned director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, were alive today, he would likely agree with Kirk Sorensen, the founder of Flibe Energy Inc., that a molten salt reactor ...

Zirconium’s exceptional properties, including its low neutron absorption and high resistance to corrosion, have positioned it as a critical material in nuclear, aerospace, and industrial applications.

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 ...

During World War II a scientist named Georg Otto Erb developed the molten salt battery for use in military applications. The war ended before Erb’s batteries found any real use, but British ...
