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

So too for molten salt reactors (MSRs), which saw Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) create a number of prototypes, starting in 1954 when the Aircraft Reactor Experiment reached first criticality.

Molten salt reactors are nuclear's future, but there's still a lot we don't know. A new breakthrough could help engineers crack the next phase of nuclear energy.

The Copenhagen Atomics waste burner version 0.2.3 is a 50 MW(t) heavy water moderated, single fluid, fluoride salt-based, thermal spectrum, molten salt reactor. Copenhagen Atomics Waste Burner 2.0 and ...

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.

Southern Company and INL’s molten salt test loop marks a major step toward safer, efficient Gen IV nuclear reactors with real-time corrosion monitoring.

In one hour, a molten salt reactor may be able to crank out 500,000 kilowatts, enough to power 45 U.S. households for an entire year. 5. Drain tank.

Before molten salt CSPs can truly begin paving the way to 24-hour solar energy, though, utility officials and energy policymakers need to understand the importance of energy storage, ...

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 ...

One potential solution is known as a molten salt battery, which offers advantages that lithium batteries do not, but have their share of kinks to iron out, too.
