Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP), Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) and Seaborg Technologies announced a consortium to develop floating nuclear power plants with Seaborg Technologies’ compact molten salt reactor (CMSR) technology. In the CMSR, the fuel is mixed into a molten fluoride salt which also acts as the coolant.

Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) and Seaborg signed a partnership agreement to develop floating nuclear power plants based on Seaborg’s inherently safe Compact Molten Salt Reactor (CMSR). The design of the hydrogen, ammonia and power units will be optimized for efficient serial construction at SHI’s shipyards.

TerraPower and PacifiCorp announced efforts to advance a Natrium reactor demonstration project at a retiring coal plant in Wyoming. The Natrium technology has a 345MW sodium fast reactor coupled with a molten salt-based integrated energy storage system that will provide clean, flexible energy and stability for the grid.

“At the same time, it’s becoming apparent that alternative-fuel solutions we’re looking at have big drawbacks, and that producing these fuels will take a lot of green power that will be needed to replace coal and gas on shore. The group has shortlisted three designs and plan to have picked one by the end of 2024.

biomass or coal). Sub-critical reactors run by design with fewer neutrons than required to sustain the chain reaction; the external source (the accelerator) supplies the extra neutrons required to maintain the reaction, and thus enable the use of other nuclear materials such as SNF and W-Pu.

High temperature heat for biomass gasification is obtained from a molten-salt system in a solar concentrating tower. For comparison, they also modeled the production of methanol using only biomass as a fuel and also using coal as source of both carbon and energy. Hertwich and Zhang (2009). Energy conversion efficiency (%).

The selected projects will seek to improve component and system designs to extend operation to an average of about 18 hours per day, a level of production that would make it possible for these plants to displace traditional coal-burning power plants. Pasadena, CA – up to $10.8 The system will also feature a thermal storage system.
