Amid this landscape, the global power demand could surge by 40% due to increased electrification driven by data centers and AI, creating a clarion call for advanced, scalable, and safe nuclear solutions.
Enter Molten Salt Reactors: A Proven but Overlooked Technology
Molten salt reactors are not a new concept—they date back to the 1950s with pioneers like Alvin Weinberg. It was Weinberg who envisioned using liquid fuel—thorium dissolved in hot, viscous salt—that could operate at ambient pressure, significantly reducing safety concerns compared to high-pressure reactors.
