"The absence of strong process safety protocols—and the failure to apply lessons from past similar events—put TS USA’s workers at serious risk, with one of them tragically being killed.” On June 3, ...

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 ...

Researchers from Skoltech and the Institute of High Temperature Electrochemistry of UB RAS have developed and tested a model based on machine learning that predicts the properties of molten salts.

Chemists report that radiation-induced chemical reactions may help mitigate the corrosion of metals in a new type of nuclear reactor cooled by molten salts. High temperatures and ionizing radiation ...

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 ...
