Netherlands’ NRG Begins New Molten Salt Technology Study :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

Netherlands’ NRG Begins New Molten Salt Technology Study :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: The Netherlands-based Nuclear Research and Consultancy Group (NRG) has begun a new study – part of its molten salt technology programme – that aims to simulate what happens when the molten salt cools down to below 150C.



Results of the study will contribute to the safety analysis of molten salt reactors. NRG said last year that the study will include the monitoring of pressure, dose and temperature and that five salts will be investigated, The salt samples will be provided by Czech research centre Řež.



A new experimental facility, called Saga, is designed to be used for testing a range of configurations (or: arrangements) for molten salt reactors.
