Inside the tower, molten salts are heated to 565 °C and flow down into storage tanks, turning water into steam to drive turbines. It's like a big battery of molten salt instead of lithium," said Fernando Gonzalez , CEO of Cerro Dominador. The closed-loop system has a record 17.5-hour It's flexible.

Vard Group is part of NuProShip , a consortium of the Norwegian maritime authority, universities, shipbuilders, and shipping companies that aims to develop a Generation IV reactor for marine vessels. One is a thorium-fueled molten-salt reactor. The reactors would be small, modular units. Fourth-generation SMRs avoid all that.

The new electrode concept comes from the laboratory of Ju Li, the Battelle Energy Alliance Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering and professor of materials science and engineering. Thus, the whole solid battery can remain mechanically and chemically stable as it goes through its cycles of use.
