The Dutch developer of the advanced small modular molten salt reactor, Thorizon One, has announced a partnership with French ...

What if the next big thing in nuclear energy was a dusty old idea from the Cold War era? Once considered to power nuclear ...

The Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment (MCRE ... and his team began developing the process and equipment needed for salt synthesis at the Fuels and Applied Science Building at INL’s Materials ...

Researchers from the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have ...

The Franco-Dutch nuclear energy startup Thorizon and French energy storage innovator Storabelle have joined forces to advance ...

The system also uses molten salt instead of water to cool the fission reactor, which is reportedly much safer in the event of a meltdown. It is possible to recycle the U-233 decay into new fuel ...

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 (ARE) reached first ...

Molten salt cooled reactors are “intrinsically safe,” said James Wishart, Distinguished Chemist at BNL and director of the ...

Chemists report that radiation-induced chemical reactions may help mitigate the corrosion of metals in a new type of nuclear reactor cooled by molten salts. High temperatures and ionizing ...
