Nuclear Reactors 1074 - MoltexFLEX Is Developing A Small Modular Molten Salt Reactor

     Moltex Energy Limited subsidiary MoltexFLEX has announced the launch of its FLEX molten salt reactor. Through flexible operation and the use of thermal storage technology, the FLEX can support intermittent renewable energy through its rapid responsiveness to changes in demand.

Nuclear Reactors 1073 - BYU Researches Working On A Molten Salt Micro-reactor

     Matthew Memmott is a Brigham Young University professor and nuclear engineering expert. He and his team have designed a new system for safer nuclear energy production. Their new system is a molten salt micro-reactor that may solve many problems with nuclear power.

Nuclear Reactors 1070 - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Is Launching Its New SRZ-1200 Nuclear Reactor With Enhanced Safety Features

     Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) recently launched the SRZ-1200 advanced pressurized water reactor (PWR) design. The SRZ-1200 was developed in collaboration with four Japanese utilities. It is designed to meet Japan’s enhanced regulatory safety standards.

Nuclear Fusion 192 - The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory Is Exploring Plasma Instability

     Physicists at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have recently proposed that the formation of “hills and valleys” in magnetic field lines could be the origin of sudden collapses of heat ahead of disruptions that can damage donut-shaped tokamak fusion facilities.
