The denatured molten-salt reactor (DMSR) was an Oak Ridge theoretical design that was never built. Engel et al. 1980 said the project "examined the conceptual feasibility of a molten-salt power reactor fueled with denatured uranium-235 (i.e. with low-enriched uranium) and operated with a minimum of chemical processing."
The IMSR belongs to the denatured molten salt reactor (DMSR) [7] class of molten salt reactors (MSR). It is designed to have all the safety features associated with the Molten Salt class of reactors including low pressure operation (the reactor and primary coolant is operated near normal atmospheric pressure), the inability to lose primary ...
Dewan co-founded Transatomic Power in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2011 and was the chief executive officer until the corporation ceased operations. [12] Transatomic Power was founded to design and develop a molten salt reactor (Generation IV reactor) to generate clean and low-cost nuclear power.
MoltexFLEX is a British nuclear energy company developing small modular molten salt reactors.Their reactor designs, termed "FLEX reactors", are stable salt reactors, and feature a hybrid approach whereby fuel assemblies similar to current light water reactors containing the liquid salt fuel mixture are submerged in a pool of liquid salt coolant.
The project includes 10,347 heliostats that collect and focus the sun's thermal energy to heat molten salt flowing through an approximately 656-foot (200 m) tall [13] solar power tower. Each heliostat is made up of 35 6×6 feet (1.8 m) mirror facets, yielding a heliostat overall usable area of 1,245 square feet (115.7 m 2 ).
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is issuing a construction permit for a new type of nuclear reactor that uses molten salt to cool the reactor core. The NRC is issuing the permit to Kairos ...
The company is developing a 195 MWe Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) design [2] and completed its Pre-Licensing Vendor Design Review [3] in 2023 with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. [4] The IMSR uses molten salt reactor technology and is one example of a small modular reactor (SMR) characteristic of Generation IV nuclear reactor designs.
The fuel salt circulates from the reactor to the primary fuel pump, then the Primary Heat Exchanger (PHX), where it then flows back into the reactor. The primary fuel loop is a forced flow loop system. The components that are part of the primary fuel loop are the reactor, PHXs, pump bowl, pump, and hot and cold leg piping.
