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 ...
A novel nuclear reactor currently under construction at the Abilene Christian University (ACU) in Texas will help generate carbon-free energy while also desalinating water, solving two problems at ...
The Integral MSR is also based on the MSR Experiment but has been modified to have a more sealed, passive approach. The design team is based in Canada with international involvement and support. An 80 ...
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a licence to Abilene Christian University for the construction of a molten salt research reactor on its campus in Abilene, Texas. This marks the first ...
The company’s technology could usher in a new era of reactors that are cheaper and safer to operate. Kairos is trying to reinvent nuclear power. Its molten-salt-cooled reactor could generate safe, ...
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 ...
Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has debuted a new molten salt test loop that will support the development of advanced reactors using molten salts. The Molten Salt Flow Loop Test Bed is meant to allow ...
Nuclear technology firm Terrestrial Energy has quietly been making progress on its Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) technology, laying the crucial groundwork for a commercial fleet by the early ...
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.
Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor. Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than uranium—the most common fission fuel. The system also uses molten salt instead of ...
The first stage of design work on a prototype molten salt reactor has been completed, Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom has said. (Image: Rosatom) A preliminary design was unveiled in February ...
