France-based microreactor developer Naarea has formed a strategic partnership with Phoenix Manufacture – a French company ...

In a bid to minimise the use of nickel deployed within the nuclear sector, the US Argonne National Laboratory has developed a ...

Since the 1960s, we’ve known that light water nuclear reactors weren’t the only way to generate electricity by splitting the atom. One alternative design, so-called “ ...

A new 1 megawatt thermal nuclear molten salt reactor will be built in 2026 and will be lowered into a cement encased trench ...

To meet that demand, Eagle Mountain is considering allowing small nuclear reactors and other alternate ... Carmen Valdez, a policy associate with the Salt Lake City-based Healthy Environment ...

The permit allows TerraPower to begin building the non-nuclear portions of its plant, including its "energy island," which will hold the plant's turbines and molten-salt energy storage tanks.

Bill Gates-backed nuclear energy firm Terrapower announced that it has received approval from the Wyoming Industrial Siting Council (ISC) on its permit for the first Natrium plant, Kemmerer Power ...

Materials scientists are working on fine-tuning the composition and properties of molten salt mixtures to make the production of pure titanium, calcium, aluminum, and certain other metals more ...

Among their other benefits, molten-salt reactors could ease the problem of mounting nuclear waste from conventional reactors. They produce highly radioactive minor actinides: neptunium-237 ...
