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.
