To meet energy demands and reestablish the nation’s energy dominance, U.S. companies are developing several types of advanced reactors. One type of advanced reactor, a molten salt reactor, uses fuels ...

Researchers have found that untreated salts can create major challenges for molten salt reactors.

Studies show that purified salts cause minimal corrosion in molten salt reactors, enabling more durable and cost-effective MSR designs.

Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has debuted a new molten salt test loop that will support the development of advanced reactors using molten salts. The Molten Salt Flow Loop Test Bed is meant to allow ...

Peer-reviewed research published in the Journal of Nuclear Materials shows that purifying molten fluoride salts before they ...

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 ...
