Molten Salt Regeneration: The Game-Changer

This article was shared at Nuclear Engineering International. Corrosion caused by high temperatures and corrosive salts has long plagued molten salt-based nuclear reactor industries. Now though, a technology designed to produce carbon nanomaterials could be the breakthrough needed to clean impurities from the coolant fuel circulating in molten salt reactor designs. The issue of corrosion caused by high temperatures and corrosive salts has long plagued molten salt-based nuclear reactor industries and other industries such as solar power thermal energy storage. UP Catalyst, an Estonian nanotechnology company has formed a consortium of experts to develop a cutting-edge technology that promises…
