million to support MoltexFLEX, a UK molten salt reactor developer based in the North West, to build and operate rigs for the development of molten salt fuel. Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are an AMR type that use a molten salt as a coolant and fuel, leading to intrinsic safety compared with conventional fuels.

Electric Power Research Institute: Build-to-Replace: A New Paradigm for Reducing Advanced Reactor O&M Costs - $999,464. Moltex Energy will develop a multi-physics plant digital twin environment for its Stable Salt Reactor - Wasteburner (SSR-W). SSR-W is a low overnight-capital plant design, targeting a e build cost.

As utilities have begun retiring older plants, however, comparatively high costs have made it difficult to justify building new nuclear power plants. In the building phase, cost savings may be realized through modular and advanced manufacturing techniques that bring most of the work to the factory instead to the construction site.

Molten salt nuclear reactors (MSRs) fit the bill—and, according to at least one source , China may be well on their way to developing MSR technology. Government researchers there unveiled a design for a commercial molten salt reactor (MSR) that uses. Live Science , the Chinese government plans to build several large MSRs.

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]. One is a thorium-fueled molten-salt reactor. The reactors would be small, modular units.
