Bøe emphasized that the Liberty program could unlock a market estimated at $2.6 trillion focused on floating power solutions, ...

The model, known as a moment tensor potential system, provides information on atoms’ complex interactions. This revolutionary ...

A technology called the molten-salt reactor first went online in 1965 at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, but was scrapped in the 1970s because it wasn't good for making nuclear weapons. If ...

So too for molten salt reactors (MSRs), which saw Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) create a number of prototypes, starting in 1954 when the Aircraft Reactor Experiment (ARE) reached first ...

Initially developed in the 1950s, molten salt reactors have benefits in higher efficiencies and lower waste generation. Some designs do not require solid fuel, which eliminates the need for ...

The company’s Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) is a Generation IV nuclear reactor that uses molten salt as a coolant and fuel carrier. Molten salt reactors offer a number of advantages over ...

A National Geographic emerging explorer with a Ph.D. in nuclear engineering, she wants to resurrect the molten-salt reactor, a 1960s-era design that she hopes will revive nuclear energy as a ...

In addition, the molten salt fast reactor concept is being considered as a long term option. The most mature fast reactor technology, the sodium cooled fast reactor, has more than 400 reactor-years of ...

In 2023, the company built the Science and Engineering Research Center (SERC) at ACU, the first advanced reactor research facility outside a national lab in the US. The company uses liquid-fueled ...

A new 1 megawatt thermal nuclear molten salt reactor will be built in 2026 and will be lowered into a cement encased trench in a new building in Texas. Rusty Towell of Nature Energy showed the new ...

The ship will be fitted with Molten Salt Reactors, a kind of nuclear reactor that uses liquid salt as fuel. That would make it 100% emission-free as it sails around for 300 days a year.
