Scientists achieve historic breakthrough with salt substance that could revolutionize nuclear power: 'A major milestone for American innovation'
This is the first time in history a fuel like this has seen success. Scientists achieve historic breakthrough with salt ...
Idaho National Laboratory launches full-scale molten chloride fuel production for the MCRE, marking a historic milestone in advanced nuclear energy.
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 ...
Molten salt nuclear reactors (MSR) also have unique passive methods of preventing nuclear disasters. Some plants are equipped with what's known as a "freeze plug" in the reactor chamber. In the event ...
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, ...
The milestone marks the first production of uranium chloride fuel for a fast-spectrum molten chloride reactor in the United States.
Molten-salt reactors were first built in the 1950s but haven't been used in the US since the 1970s. The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission recently issued a permit to build a molten-salt nuclear plant.
In the late 1960s, Oak Ridge National Labs in the USA built and operated a 7.5 MW thermal molten salt reactor. During 1968, it operated 75% of the time and generated 41,000 megawatt hours of heat. The ...
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded a team of researchers from UMass Lowell and Oak Ridge National Laboratory a $400,000 grant to develop machine learning-based approaches for simulating ...

Lab produces first-ever fuel for fast molten salt reactor experiment
Scientists at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) have achieved a historic breakthrough in nuclear energy by launching full-scale production of enriched fuel salt for the Molten Chloride Reactor ...
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 ...
