Summary/Abstract:
Molten Salt Reactors, first developed at Oak Ridge in the 1950s, are staging a
comeback. Many companies, several governments, and various private initiatives
have found that reactors using molten salts as a nuclear fuel carrier and/or
coolant have intrinsic attributes in terms of reactor safety, operating costs,
and product value. An overview of technical, industrial, and environmental
features will be presented.
