Idaho National Laboratory ( INL ) has cleared a major hurdle in making a Generation IV nuclear reactor practical.

Using a new process, a team has developed a new way of processing fuel efficiently for cutting-edge molten salt reactors.

The reactor designs can be modular and readily adapted for small-scale plants that can be used for a variety of industrial applications.

Next step is to produce five more batches by October 2025 to demonstrate potential for full-scale production of enriched nuclear fuel.

MCRE project director: "It takes a special kind of perseverance to keep working the problem when there is no guarantee that you will find a solution".
