Abilene Christian University’s (ACU) Nuclear Energy eXperimental Testing (NEXT) Lab submitted an application for a construction permit for a molten-salt research reactor (MSRR) with the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Earlier post.).

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.

per gallon, according to the company, while also dealing with the issue of waste nuclear materials. However, other materials including nuclear waste from conventional reactors, or natural uranium can be used to produce energy if additional neutrons can be added. The nature of the cooling agent: gas, molten metal, molten salt.

The company is building these shipping container systems, which work like giant batteries that store energy as heat and pressurized air , rather than a chemical reaction (Cheesecake’s name is derived from a nerdy acronym for their technology.) That’s why Liu’s Thermal Energy Storage Group at ORNL is focused primarily on buildings.

The projects, led by universities, private companies, and national laboratories, were selected to develop technologies to advance UNF recycling, reduce the volume of high-level waste requiring permanent disposal, and provide safe domestic advanced reactor fuel stocks. Award amount: $1,580,774). Award amount: $2,711,342).

Thermal Storage: Molten Salt Storage: This involves storing heat in molten salt and using it to generate steam, which then drives a turbine to produce electricity. The stored ice is then used to cool buildings during peak demand times. It provides a secure and unified platform for HEMS integration.

The latest reactor designs, now under construction around the world, build on more than 50 years of technology development. Progress in implementing plans for the disposal of high-level radioactive waste will also be essential. Molten Salt Reactor (MSR). Concepts for Gen IV Systems. Sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR).
