Small modular reactors (SMRs) are gaining momentum as a promising clean energy solution, with numerous companies developing ...
The ship will be fitted with Molten Salt Reactors, a kind of nuclear reactor that uses liquid salt as fuel. That would make it 100% emission-free as it sails around for 300 days a year.
Initially developed in the 1950s, molten salt reactors have benefits in higher efficiencies and lower waste generation. Some designs do not require solid fuel, which eliminates the need for ...
A novel small modular reactor design will use its waste heat to desalinate water produced in Texan oil and gas wells.
(via Kyle Hill) Since the 1960s, we’ve known that light water nuclear reactors weren’t the only way to generate electricity by splitting the atom. One alternative design, so-called “molten salt ...
Copenhagen Atomics is a Danish molten salt technology company developing mass manufacturable molten-salt reactors. The reactor type invented by Copenhagen Atomics is a thorium molten salt breeder ...
TerraPower is now also supported by the US Department of Energy, which gave the company an $80 million grant in October 2020 as part of its Advanced Reactor ... and molten-salt energy storage ...
Significant advancements in nuclear power are being made right in West Texas with Natura Resources’ molten salt research reactor currently under construction at Abilene Christian University.
