Title: Molten Salt Reactors from Texas - Future of energy?
Description
Abstract:
Energy use defines our civilization and presents both blessings and dangers. Nuclear power has not materialized its early promise in the U.S., and we will consider how the early history of nuclear power developments crafted our current predicaments. Molten salt reactors exemplify a resurrection of a technology demonstrated in the 1950s and 60s, which is now gaining traction worldwide. The Molten Salt Research Reactor (MSRR) is a university research reactor that attempts to spearhead U.S. leadership in this technology. The MSRR is built on the campus of the Abilene Christian University in Abilene, TX, so far entirely privately funded by Natura Resources LLC.
