Advanced Reactor Technology Program Molten Salt Reactor Campaign FY 2018 Summary
- Oak Ridge National Lab. (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
In FY 2018, the inaugural Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) Campaign was begun with the US Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Reactor Technology (ART) program. The campaign is led out of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) under the direction of Lou Qualls, who serves as the national technical director for the program. The campaign is a revival and refocusing of a significant DOE research program from the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s, which culminated in the operation of the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment. The principal objectives of the campaign’s first year were to study and define the current condition of the technology, identify and prioritize technology gaps, and establish a national team of experts to collaboratively address the technical needs. The highest-level objective of the campaign is to facilitate the development and near-term market deployment of MSRs in conjunction with industry partners.
