By the mid-2030s, a fleet of smaller floating nuclear power plants (FNPPs) that use “molten salt reactors” could form the largest floating power plant in the U.S. Nuclear innovation company ...

Their findings are published in the journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. "Molten salt reactors are an emerging technology for safer, scalable nuclear energy production. These advanced ...

Since chromium is stable as both Cr 3+ and Cr 2+ in most molten salts, "it is essential to understand how Cr 3+ and Cr 2+ react chemically with species produced in the radiation field of a reactor ...
