Workshop on the Current Status of Structural Material Development for Molten Salt Reactors and Related Challenges
EVT2504152
The introduction of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), particularly innovative non-water-cooled designs, marks a new paradigm in the global energy sector. Among these, Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are increasingly recognized as a transformative technology within the nuclear power landscape, promising advancements in safety, flexibility, and efficiency for sustainable and clean energy deployment.
As part of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) efforts to support the development and deployment of innovative reactor technologies, MSRs offer unique advantages, including low operating pressure, inherent safety characteristics, and fuel flexibility. These features make MSRs attractive options for future energy systems, including floating nuclear power plants, power supply for ports and remote regions, and maritime
