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

Salt isn’t just for popcorn anymore. In fact, molten salt has caught the eye of the nuclear industry as an ideal working fluid for reactor cooling, energy transfer, fueling and fission product ...

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.

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 ...

INL scientists have achieved a major breakthrough in fuel production for next-gen molten salt reactors, overcoming a key hurdle in making these advanced nuclear power systems viable and bringing ...

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 ...

Most nuclear reactors use water as a coolant. Molten-salt reactors use salts with higher boiling points. Kairos Power is set to build the US's first in decades.

Since chromium is stable as both Cr 3+ and Cr 2+ in most molten salts, "it is essential to understand how Cr 3+ and Cr 2+ react chemically with species produced in the radiation field of a reactor ...

The Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics - part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences - has been given approval by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment to commission an experimental thorium-powered ...
