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 ...

Studying these samples under a transmission electron microscope (TEM), the researchers found that the corrosion of the FLiNAK molten salt formed a carbon-rich phase with a graphite structure in SiC.

France-based microreactor developer Naarea has formed a strategic partnership with Phoenix Manufacture – a French company ...

So too for molten salt reactors (MSRs), which saw Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) create a number of prototypes, starting in 1954 when the Aircraft Reactor Experiment (ARE) reached first ...

They built it with an aluminum anode and a nickel cathode, immersed in a sea of molten-salt electrolyte. The temperature-based hibernating battery is a simple structure with two metal electrodes ...

China is looking to make molten salt and thorium reactors as part of the plan. China built a prototype of a thorium molten salt reactor (TMSR) with a capacity of 2 MW began in September 2018 and was ...

thermo-physical properties of liquid metal and molten salt coolants, and describes tools for on-line monitoring and control of coolant chemistry. Methods to improve the corrosion resistance between ...

French microreactor developer Naarea is to collaborate with Phoenix Manufacture - a company specialising in the industrialisation of complex devices - to work towards the mass production of Naarea's ...
