Synthesis of Molten Chloride Salt Fast Reactor Fuel Salt from Spent Nuclear Fuel (CRADA 2017-17170 Final Report)
Elysium Industries USA, Inc. aims to produce safe, cost effective, carbon conscious energy through the development of an advanced liquid-fueled reactor technology. The Elysium liquid-fueled reactor concept comprises a molten chloride salt fueled fast spectrum nuclear reactor, which can accept fissle material recovered from used nuclear fuel and excess fissile material from defense applications. A key technology development need for the system is demonstrating the feasibility of a low cost, efficent method to produce the chloride fuel salt from used nuclear fuel. This approach not only provides a pathway for the disposition of used nuclear but more efficient use of uranium resources for energy production.
