Peer-reviewed research published in the Journal of Nuclear Materials shows that purifying molten fluoride salts before they ...

A materials expert told Friends of ORNL that advanced nuclear reactors need 21st-century materials to withstand extreme ...

ORNL researchers used a laser powder-bed system at the lab’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility to 3D print 316H stainless steel capsules for use in irradiation experiments. The capsule provides a ...

Researchers have found that untreated salts can create major challenges for molten salt reactors.

Studies show that purified salts cause minimal corrosion in molten salt reactors, enabling more durable and cost-effective MSR designs.

Researchers from the University of Liverpool and Copenhagen Atomics say that salt purity is the critical factor in preventing ...

Safer operation, better fuel efficiency and lower waste mark lead-cooled nuclear power as a potentially dramatic shift from the water-cooled nuclear stations the world has relied on since the mid 20th ...

After years in the wilderness, it’s a good time to be a nuclear startup. “For the first half a decade that I was telling people I was doing nuclear, I had to convince them, ‘Hey, here’s why nuclear is ...
