Moltex Energy’s Post

It was a huge pleasure and privilege to address the G4SR-5 conference on Friday and present the latest research on the capabilities of our SSR-W wasteburner reactor.   It confirms what we’ve known from the start – that our advanced #nuclear technology has ‘best in class’ performance when it comes to disposing of long-lived transuranic elements while creating low-cost, low-carbon #energy. We think it's a big deal and so we're grateful that many of the news outlets are covering it including World Nuclear News where it is the most read article. https://lnkd.in/gA9zRHze If you want to do a light dive, check out the slide deck https://lnkd.in/gxg2vF_y, for all my fellow nerds out there who want to do a deep dive, here is the full paper https://lnkd.in/gvZYH7AC .   My huge thanks to the organising committee at the Canadian Nuclear Society for a superb event and for giving Moltex the opportunity to take part.   #nuclearenergy #climate #climateaction

#Safety-case informed design is vital to cost-effectively developing a low-cost, rapid-deployment advanced #nuclear plant – and that needs early regulatory engagement. We’re delighted that after industry discussion with Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the regulators across the past year, Office for Nuclear Regulation and Environment Agency introduced early engagement to open a dialogue with SMR vendors. We kicked off our early engagement with ONR and EA in September, with a hugely productive discussion on how our FLEX reactor will meet the principles of the UK’s world-renowned regulatory process. FLEX is built on passive safety – air cooled, walk-away safe, with passive reactivity control – and it was a pleasure to start discussing this with the regulators. #energy #nuclearenergy #climate #climateaction #netzero

It was great to visit Argonne National Laboratory recently to see the progress that’s been made in creating a molten salt loop for testing and validation of our coolant salt!   It’s one of the largest chloride salt loops in the world – we’ll be using it to model how fuel assemblies in the Moltex Energy SSR-W reactor will function under different operating and accident conditions, as well as gathering data on heat transfer, corrosion and the salt’s behaviour.  Huge thanks to the team there, carrying out the amazing research with us at ANL.  #nuclear #energy #nuclearenergy #cleanenergy #research  

Our CEO David Landon spoke to the The Telegraph's industry editor Matt Oliver about how our advanced #nuclear #technology could revolutionise the disposal of spent fuel and turn it into new #cleanenergy - read the article below! #energy #climateaction #itsonlywasteifyouwasteit https://lnkd.in/ebiamw6w
