Natura Resources has deployed two advanced nuclear projects in the US state of Texas, focusing on enhancing energy security ...

Molten salt reactors (MSRs) are seen in some countries as a ... These reactors can adapt to a variety of nuclear fuel cycles (such as Uranium-Plutonium and Thorium-Uranium cycles), which allow for the ...

The use of nuclear energy could experience a turning point through the use of SMRs.

Unlike today’s models, a molten-salt reactor uses a liquid uranium salt as fuel, allowing for easier extraction of fission by-products. It has a containment system that kicks in when the plant ...

Abilene Christian University (ACU) and Texas Tech University (TTU) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with ...

Finally, fuel lamination took place, and the molten corium penetrated the floors and solidified. The corium at Chernobyl consists of uranium dioxide fuel, zircaloy cladding, concrete, and the ...

Thorium can generate more fissile material (uranium-233) than it consumes while fuelling a water cooled or molten salt reactor, and it generates fewer long-lived minor actinides than plutonium fuels.
