This project will advance modeling the behavior and properties of structure materials under molten salt conditions. The project aims to understand and anticipate the couplings between corrosion and irradiation effects at the atomistic scale in a variety of metals exposed to molten salt in a reactor. Total funding is $9.25

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.

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.
