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 ...

As for whether the CFR program truly runs incident free on not remains to be seen. But the rest of the world is looking at China to how it performs.

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...

Abilene Christian University's molten salt research reactor will be the first deployment of the Natura MSR-1, a 1 MW thermal molten salt reactor system.

What if the next big thing in nuclear energy was a dusty old idea from the Cold War era? Once considered to power nuclear bombers, molten salt reactors (MSRs) are in the spotlight, promising safer, ...

MCRE will be the world’s first test of a fast-spectrum, salt-fueled reactor design. It is a public-private partnership led by ...

Molten salt reactors or MSRs are classified as Generation IV nuclear reactors due to their capabilities of high fuel efficiency, low nuclear waste generation, and safer operation.

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 ...

Flibe Energy – Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR) Flibe Energy, one of the first to resurrect the molten salt reactor concept, and based in the USA, proposes a 2MWth two fluid breeder design. It ...

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 ...
