A novel small modular reactor design will use its waste heat to desalinate water produced in Texan oil and gas wells.

Researchers from Skoltech and the Institute of High Temperature Electrochemistry of UB RAS have developed and tested a model based on machine learning that predicts the properties of molten salts.

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 ...

The battery that should have been installed in ... are investigating whether the nickel in molten salt batteries could even be replaced entirely by zinc. "The low melting point of zinc is a ...

Researchers from Skoltech and the Institute of High Temperature Electrochemistry of UB RAS have developed and tested a model based on machine learning that predicts the properties of molten salts.

In Mid-2024, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued a construction permit yesterday to Abilene Christian University, giving ACU and its partners the go-ahead to build the Molten Salt Research ...

The permit allows TerraPower to begin building the non-nuclear portions of its plant, including its "energy island," which will hold the plant's turbines and molten-salt energy storage tanks.

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 ...

A consortium of Dutch technology companies Thorizon, DEMCON, and VDL Group has forged a project agreement to develop small modular reactors (SMRs), with a special focus on molten salt reactors. These ...

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.

As fiber was rolled out along roads, railways, and pipelines from the late 1970s onwards, real estate to house optical signal ...
