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

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 ...

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 ...

The United States has made history by becoming the first nation to use cutting-edge molten salt reactor technology to produce freshwater from scratch. This ground-breaking invention, which uses ...

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 firm is currently building a 100-MW molten salt reactor, Thorizon One, which it hopes to get running in a pilot plant by the mid-2030s. It expects the first prototype to be fuelled by a mix of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
