The conclusion many states may now draw is that complying with the NPT is no longer a guarantee of nuclear security.

Without that pressure, the water evaporates, and reactor fuel could overheat and suffer a meltdown.

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, ...

INL scientists have achieved a major breakthrough in fuel production for next-gen molten salt reactors, overcoming a key hurdle in making these advanced nuclear power systems viable and bringing ...

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 ...

The SMR-300 is a pressurized light-water reactor which uses enriched uranium to produce 300 megawatts of carbon-free electricity.

The first is Light-water reactors that include pressurized water, boiling water and supercritical water reactors. This is opposed to heavy water reactors. The vast number of operating reactors today ...
