Molten-salt nuclear reactors take the next step toward industrial deployment

Over decades of experimentation, molten-salt nuclear reactors have been shown to deliver high-temperature heat and extremely efficient electricity at reduced pressures. However, these reactors have yet to make the leap into widespread industrial adoption. Terrestrial Energy Inc. (Charlotte, N.C.) has built upon previous molten-salt research to establish a modular nuclear-plant concept designed to meet the heating and power demands of industrial processes.
