Only the molten salt reactor can fit inside the footprint of an existing coal plant. The light water reactor is too pathetic in temperature, and too large due to containment and security needs.

The first stage of design work on a prototype molten salt reactor has been completed, Russian state nuclear corporation ...

While the Trump administration is busy slapping taxes on aluminum and auto parts, President Xi Jinping could be preparing to ...

NANO Nuclear Energy said its Annular Linear Induction Pump technology for nuclear reactors has been assembled onto a test ...

The nuclear energy industry is seeing a resurgence in global interest as governments, utilities, and tech giants seek to meet ...

Molten-salt reactors have been around since the 1950s, but the US mostly abandoned them in the 1970s in favor of water-cooled reactors, many of which had already been built.

The Natura MSR-1, a 1-megawatt thermal molten salt reactor system developed in association with Natura Resources, will be used for the first time at ACU’s molten salt research reactor (MSRR).

For this and for many other complicated reasons, molten salt reactors have largely stayed within the realm of 3D models and blueprints. That is, apart from one exception.

ACU’s molten salt research reactor (MSRR) will be the first deployment of the Natura MSR-1, a 1 megawatt thermal molten salt reactor system. This construction permit is only the second ever for ...

The firm will receive a $3 million grant and access to $17 million in potential equity to fast-track the development of its thorium molten salt reactors (MSRs).

Molten Salt Reactors Could Soon Help Power Earth—And One Day Mars. If we get our way and really put humans on Mars in the next two decades, they’re gonna need power.
