SUMMARY OF THE WORKSHOP ON MOLTEN SALT REACTOR TECHNOLOGIES COMMEMORATING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE STARTUP OF THE MOLTEN SALT REACTOR EXPERIMENT

摘要

A workshop on Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) technologies commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) was held at Oak Ridge National Laboratory on October 15-16, 2015. The MSRE represented a pioneering experiment that demonstrated an advanced reactor technology: the molten salt eutectic-fueled reactor. A multinational group of more than 130 individuals representing a diverse set of stakeholders gathered to discuss the historical, current, and future technical challenges and paths to deployment of MSR technology. This paper provides a summary of the key messages from this workshop.
