Reinventing Nuclear Energy: the Role of Molten Salt Technology
Molten fluoride salts have greatly different chemical and thermophysical properties than other reactor coolants. They are chemically stable, have very high boiling temperatures (and thus are intrinsically low-pressure), have high volumetric heat capacity, and are optically transparent. This talk will provide an overview of the current status of molten salt reactor technology, including both solid and liquid fueled variants, place MSRs into a broader context of nuclear energy technologies, and discuss future prospects.
