molten salt reactor

This design is referred to as denatured molten salt reactor.

Molten Salt Reactor may also be under consideration based on some recent reports.

All molten salt reactors have features that contribute to containment safety.

However, the high process heat of the molten salt reactors could be used to make liquid fuels from any carbon source.

The molten salt reactor runs off of "down-blended weapons pits."

It was the first molten salt reactor.

The molten salt reactor offers many potential advantages compared to current light water reactors:

Instead of finding a new way to boil water, Wilson's compact, molten salt reactor found a way to heat up gas.

This is the most common type of moderator in a Molten Salt Reactor.

His team concluded that a molten salt reactor -- if done the right way -- may answer China's prayers.

Most previous proposals for molten salt reactors all bred more fuel than needed to operate, so were called breeders.

In a molten salt reactor, virtually all of the fuel and fission products can be piped to a holding tank.

For instance in molten salt reactor low pressure liquid serves both as fuel and as coolant.

Molten salt reactors can run at high temperatures, yielding high efficiencies to produce electricity.

See liquid fluoride thorium reactor and molten salt reactor for more information.

Gas-cooled reactors and Molten salt reactors are also being looked at as an option for very high temperature operation.

Molten salt reactor experiment (initially intended for aircraft propulsion)

The Molten Salt Reactor Experiment has an unusual design.

Zirconium fluoride in a mixture with other fluorides is a coolant for molten salt reactors.

Transatomic Power is designing and developing a molten salt reactor that converts nuclear waste into electric power.

Molten salt reactor designs carry out fluoride volatility reprocessing continuously or at frequent intervals.

This is unlike the majority of molten salt reactor designs that employ thorium, which requires the more complex breeder objective.

Massie isn't just talking about Transamotic's vintage-inspired molten salt reactors; he's speaking broadly about our relationship to technology.

Together with uranium salt, zirconium fluoride can be a component of fuel-coolant in molten salt reactors.

Reactors using continuous reprocessing like many molten salt reactor designs might be able to extract Xe from the fuel and avoid these effects.
