General Information on Molten Salt Reactors

Molten Salt Reactors (MSR)

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are a class of nuclear fission reactors where molten salts serve as the reactor fuel, coolant, and / or moderator. Research on MSRs began early in the development of nuclear energy. These Gen IV advanced reactors can operate at lower pressures (ambient) and higher temperatures compared to conventional water-cooled reactors.

MSRs cover a wide range of designs, with numerous options being explored, making it challenging to provide a concise overview. Several MSR concepts are currently in development, many featuring small, modular designs at various stages of technological readiness.

The MSR Turning Point Cycle

Too often, as humans, we think two-dimensionally and focus on the task at hand rather than leaping into reckless abandon and considering the third dimension. What happens when humans can produce energy affordably enough to clean up their environment? Amazing things happen, and the gloom and doom that haunts our future generations suddenly becomes solved. The youth of our world can, with a clear conscience, adopt a positive outlook and live for themselves, rather than being consumed by the eternal struggle to save our planet.
