Canada investing $20M in Terrestrial Energy to support development of Integral Molten Salt SMR. Navdeep Bains, announced a $20 million investment in Terrestrial Energy to accelerate development of the company’s Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) power plant. The IMSR uses molten salt as coolant and fuel.

Researchers are considering three different types: a lead-cooled fast reactor, a uranium-fueled, helium-gas-cooled reactor, and a molten-salt-cooled reactor, shown here [below, at bottom]. Another plus for nuclear-propelled ships is easy access to an endless supply of cooling water. The reactors would be small, modular units.

The teams will develop digital twin technologies for robust O&M strategies that can facilitate, among other things, more flexible operations for integration into an electrical grid with a large fraction of intermittent generation resources. Nuclear energy is considered by many to be critical to achieving emissions reduction goals.

Professor Donald Sadoway and colleagues have already started a company, Ambri (initially Liquid Metal Battery Corporation), to produce electrical-grid-scale liquid batteries, which comprise layers of molten material which automatically separate due to their differing densities. Earlier post.). —Donald Sadoway. Burke, Dane A.

And with the popularity of electric vehicles, the grid is under more and more pressure, so the demand for energy storage is growing. Technologies include energy storage with molten salt and liquid air or cryogenic storage. But feasibility in today’s grid applications requires the application of the latest technologies.
