This project will advance modeling the behavior and properties of structure materials under molten salt conditions. A particular challenge in designing and deploying advanced reactor systems is determining the tradeoffs between competing safety and lifetime issues. Total funding is $9.25 million for up to five years, with $1.85

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). The ORNL MSRE design incorporated a one region reactor with graphite moderator and circulating fuel.

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 remaining fuel salt will be mixed into new CMSR fuel at the fuel supplying facility.

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 group has shortlisted three designs and plan to have picked one by the end of 2024. This artist’s conception, which is not based on any specific design for a cargo ship, is intended to show the approximate scale of such a vessel. One is a thorium-fueled molten-salt reactor. The reactors would be small, modular units.

In the paper in Nature they showed that intermediate-temperature (200 to 350 ˚C) molten salts containing caesium or potassium cations enable carbonate ions (CO 3 2– ) to deprotonate very weakly acidic C–H bonds, generating carbon-centered nucleophiles that react with CO 2 to form carboxylates.

This design can provide a low-cost way to utilize the diffuse portion of the solar spectrum. The system would also capture waste heat from the solar cells, providing additional gains from the sun’s energy. This double-mirror design is optimized to capture as much of the energy in sunlight as possible. Cogenra Solar, Inc.
