Theoretically, there's no better, more practical source of reliable, carbon-free energy than the current generation of nuclear reactors. In practice, the theory holds water, but there are still a few ...

Copenhagen Atomics is a Danish molten salt technology company developing mass manufacturable molten-salt reactors. The reactor type invented by Copenhagen Atomics is a thorium molten salt breeder ...

Denmark's Copenhagen Atomics has signed a large-scale experimental collaboration agreement with Switzerland's Paul Scherrer Institute to conduct the first critical experiment on thorium molten salt ...

A Russian company has developed a production process for lithium-7 fluoride. Lithium-7 fluoride, to be used in the molten salt reactor, is produced by solid-phase synthesis. The development is crucial ...

China’s Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics (SINAP) in November reported it had achieved thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion inside an operating molten salt reactor (MSR). The milestone provides the ...

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 ...

Abilene Christian University was issued a construction permit by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to build its molten salt reactor at the university's Nuclear Energy eXperimental Testing Laboratory.

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 ...
