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 ...

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

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 ...

Chinese scientists have completed a major breakthrough in clean energy by reloading fresh fuel into a working thorium molten salt reactor. They did this while the reactor continued running, marking a ...

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 ...

What if the next big thing in nuclear energy was a dusty old idea from the Cold War era? Once considered to power nuclear bombers, molten salt reactors (MSRs) are in the spotlight, promising safer, ...

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 ...

The experimental TMSR-LF1 thorium-powered molten salt reactor in Wuwei, Gansu Province, has achieved the first successful conversion of thorium-uranium nuclear fuel, the Shanghai Institute of Applied ...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) represent a transformative approach in nuclear energy, utilising high-temperature molten salts as both coolant and fuel solvent. This design offers notable advantages in ...

Scientists at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) have achieved a historic breakthrough in nuclear energy by launching ...

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 ...
