Though the two countries are now in a race to develop atomic technology, China’s most advanced reactor was the result of ...

A novel nuclear reactor currently under construction at the Abilene Christian University (ACU) in Texas will help generate carbon-free energy while also desalinating water, solving two problems at ...

What if the next big thing in nuclear energy was a dusty old idea from the Cold War era? Once considered to power nuclear bombers, molten salt reactors (MSRs) are in the spotlight, promising safer, ...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) represent a transformative approach in nuclear energy, utilising high-temperature molten salts as both coolant and fuel solvent. This design offers notable advantages in ...

Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor. Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than uranium—the most common fission fuel. The system also uses molten salt instead of ...

China has just crossed a threshold that many nuclear engineers have talked about for decades but no country had previously achieved at scale: turning thorium into a practical, operating source of low ...

America’s energy system is colliding with hard limits, from aging grids to rising demand from data centers and electric ...

Texas Tech University, Abilene Christian University and Natura Resources are moving forward with plans to construct a molten salt research reactor, which could be deployed in the state by the end of ...

Texas-based Natura Resources has received a DOE GAIN voucher to advance its MSR-100 molten salt reactor toward planned 2030 ...

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 ...
