Future nuclear power reactors could rely on molten salts — but what about...

MIT Energy Initiative

Postdoc Weiyue Zhou (left) and Associate Professor Michael Short attach a novel test chamber containing a metal sample and salt to the end of a proton accelerator. Experiments to date show that proton irradiation decreases the rate of corrosion in certain metal alloys — potentially good news for designers of promising nuclear power reactors that rely on molten salts, which tend to be highly corrosive.

Cutting carbon emissions on the US power grid

MIT Energy Initiative

An online model developed by an MIT Energy Initiative team enables other researchers and operators of U.S. regional grids to explore possible pathways to decarbonization. Case studies of the nine regional power grids shown here confirm the importance of designing a strategy based on the resources and electricity demand profiles of specific regions.
