The initial project completed there was the TMSR-SF0, an electrically-heated (non-fissioning) simulator to aid development of a proposed "SF" (solid fuel, using a molten salt only for cooling) branch of TMSR, as well as to gain operational experience using molten salt more generally. The SF0 has two liquid FLiNaK heat transport loops. [10]
China is planning to build a thorium-based nuclear reactor that could be cleaner and safer than conventional options. China plans to build the first 'clean' commercial nuclear reactor Skip to main ...
In early 2012, it was reported that China, using components produced by the West and Russia, planned to build two prototypes, one of them a molten salt-cooled pebble-bed reactor by 2015, [62]: minute 1:37 [62]: minute 44:20 and a research molten salt reactor [62]: minute 54:00 by 2017, [62] had budgeted the project at $400 million and requiring ...
The People's Republic of China has initiated a research and development project in thorium molten-salt reactor technology. [101] It was formally announced at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) annual conference in January 2011. Its ultimate target is to investigate and develop a thorium based molten salt nuclear system in about 20 years.
The reactor in Shidao Bay, China is the world’s first gas-cooled nuclear power plant built for commercial demonstration. It is cooled by helium and can reach high temperatures of up to 750 ...
China initiated a research and development project in thorium molten-salt thermal breeder-reactor technology (liquid fluoride thorium reactor), formally announced at the Chinese Academy of Sciences annual conference in 2011. Its ultimate target was to investigate and develop a thorium-based molten salt nuclear system over about 20 years.
China built a prototype nuclear reactor that could power a large warship, researchers say. Satellite images and Chinese documents point to work on a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
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."
