US firm to build Gen IV nuclear reactor that uses molten salt as both fuel and coolant
US-based Terrestrial Energy has executed an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreement with the Department ...
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 ...
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, ...
Commercial nuclear reactors all work pretty much the same way. Atoms of a radioactive material split, emitting neutrons.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued a construction permit to Abilene Christian University (ACU) to build the Natura MSR-1, marking the first U.S. university research reactor approved in ...
Terrestrial Energy Inc. develops molten salt reactors with a $6.7 target and Project TETRA to meet data center demand. Read why IMSR stock is a hold.
A team from the Nuclear Research and Consultancy Group (NRG) the Netherlands has built the first molten salt reactor powered by thorium in decades. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X ...
The Integral MSR is also based on the MSR Experiment but has been modified to have a more sealed, passive approach. The design team is based in Canada with international involvement and support. An 80 ...
The liquid-fueled molten salt reactors such as the MSRE and the TMSR-LF have distinguishing dynamic features compared with solid-fueled reactors, such that conventional system analysis codes are not ...
El Salvador is taking steps to add nuclear power to the country’s energy mix, as the nation of about 6.5 million people looks to diversify its electric power generation fleet. In support of that ...
