  1. #China's giant Gobi #solar plant runs after dark on salt, not batteries
    During the day, the PV array feeds the grid at full load. The 100MW concentrated solar power (CSP) unit does something different: 260,000 tracking mirrors covering 800,000 square meters of collector surface focus sunlight to heat #moltensalt to 550°C (1,022°F). That heat is stored, then used to produce steam and spin a turbine once the sun goes down.

  9. An experimental molten-salt research reactor went critical in 1965, and was operated until 1969.

    "China has been quietly reviving this abandoned technology since 2011. Xu said construction of the experimental reactor in the Gobi Desert began in 2018. […] Technical hurdles remain significant": neimagazine.com/news/china-ref

  31. I wonder how much #taxpayer money #BillGates is getting for #TerraPower (even though he could fund it himself if he wanted to).

    #Nuclear power: Why #MoltenSalt reactors are problematic and Canada investing in them is a waste

    Published: September 14, 2021

    "As a physicist who has analyzed different nuclear reactor designs, including small modular reactors, I believe that molten salt reactors are unlikely to be successfully deployed anytime soon. #MSRs face difficult technical problems, and cannot be counted on to produce electricity consistently.

    [...]

    "Should an #MSR be built, it will also saddle society with the challenge of dealing with the radioactive waste it will produce. This is especially difficult for MSRs because the waste is in chemical forms that are 'not known to occur in nature' and it is unclear 'which, if any, disposal environment could accommodate this high-level waste.' The Union of Concerned Scientists has also detailed the safety and security risks associated with MSR designs."
