Idaho National Laboratory launches full-scale molten chloride fuel production for the MCRE, marking a historic milestone in ...

The company’s carbon-nanosphere production will allow it to provide the material as an anti-corrosive additive for ...

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 ...

The milestone marks the first production of uranium chloride fuel for a fast-spectrum molten chloride reactor in the United ...

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has cleared a major hurdle in making a Generation IV nuclear reactor practical. Using a new process, a team has developed a new way of processing fuel efficiently ...

BOISE, Idaho — Out in the Eastern Idaho desert where sagebrush meats science, the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) stands as America's atomic kitchen - brewing energy solutions that could revolutionize ...

As next-generation nuclear reactors, known as Gen IV power plants, are developed, it is looking more and more likely that they will be of the molten salt variety. These plants swap out radioactive ...

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 ...

Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor. Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than uranium—the most common fission fuel. The system also uses molten salt instead of ...
