Only the molten salt reactor can fit inside the footprint of an existing coal plant. The light water reactor is too pathetic in temperature, and too large due to containment and security needs.

Molten salt reactors are nuclear's future, but there's still a lot we don't know. A new breakthrough could help engineers crack the next phase of nuclear energy.

A new molten salt reactor design can scale from just 50 Megawatts electric (MWe) to 1,200 MWe, its creators say, while burning up nuclear waste in the process.. ☢️ You like nuclear. So do we ...

History of molten salt reactors. During the early stages of the Cold War, the US Air Force was trying to build a nuclear-powered bomber. While this project eventually went nowhere (the Air Force was ...

Molten-salt reactors have been around since the 1950s, but the US mostly abandoned them in the 1970s in favor of water-cooled reactors, many of which had already been built.

ACU’s molten salt research reactor (MSRR) will be the first deployment of the Natura MSR-1, a 1 megawatt thermal molten salt reactor system. This construction permit is only the second ever for ...

In one hour, a molten salt reactor may be able to crank out 500,000 kilowatts, enough to power 45 U.S. households for an entire year. 5. Drain tank.
