Although to most the term ‘fission reactor’ brings to mind something close to the commonly operated light-water reactors (LWRs) which operate using plain water (H 2 O) as coolant and with sluggish, ...

When the National Ignition Facility in Livermore, CA, achieved a fusion energy gain factor of 1.6 on a test of its laser-based fusion reactor, the response was either utter elation or jaded skepticism ...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...

The Integral MSR is also based on the MSR Experiment but has been modified to have a more sealed, passive approach. The design team is based in Canada with international involvement and support. An 80 ...

Salt isn’t just for popcorn anymore. In fact, molten salt has caught the eye of the nuclear industry as an ideal working fluid for reactor cooling, energy transfer, fueling and fission product ...

Carolyn Krause concludes her series looking at Stan Thompson, Glenn Seaborg, and Alvin Weinberg with this look at the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment. She enlisted the help of Ronnie Bogard, the ...
