ANNOUNCEMENT
AMERICAN NUCLEAR SOCIETY
NORTHEASTERN SECTION
Meeting Notice
Tuesday, December 2, 2014
Speaker: Dr. Leslie Dewan, CEO
Transatomic
Power Corporation
Topic: Transatomic Power - Adventures in Development and Marketing a
New Power Plant Design
Transatomic Power is
developing a new, thermal-spectrum molten salt reactor concept that uses
zirconium hydride as a moderator and LiF-(Actinide)F4 as fuel. The designs
builds on the work conducted in the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) at
the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the 1960s. The new salt and moderator used
in this design gives the reactor a twenty-fold power density increase as
compared to the MSRE, and allows for the use of spent nuclear fuel or
low-enriched uranium (1.8% U-235) as
fuel, while retaining the MSRE’s significant safety benefits, including full
passive safety and atmospheric-pressure operation. Ultimately, this design has
the potential to consume the country’s existing stockpiles of spent nuclear
fuel, while safely generating enormous amounts of cheap, carbon-free
electricity.
