Molten-Salt Reactor Program. Semiannual Progress Report. Period Ending February 29, 1972

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:22977986

The objective of the Molten-Salt Reactor Program is the development of nuclear reactors which use fluid fuels that are solutions of fissile and fertile materials in suitable carrier salts. The program is an outgrowth of the effort begun over 20 years ago in the Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion program to make a molten-salt reactor power plant for aircraft. A molten-salt reactor - the Aircraft Reactor Experiment - was operated at ORNL in 1954 as part of the ANP program.
