US scientists unlock critical molten salt reactor data for future nuclear energy
US scientists have collected rare new data on molten reactor salts that could help ...
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’s new?: ORNL recorded rare thermal conductivity and viscosity data for uranium-bearing molten salts, vital for advanced ...
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 ...
Natura Resources LLC (Natura), a developer of advanced, liquid-fueled molten salt reactors, today announced 1,000 hours of operation of its Molten Salt Test System (MSTS), a flowing salt loop that ...
