New breakthrough in thorium-based molten salt reactors: Fourth-generation nuclear energy drives the upgrade of high-temperature molten salt transportation equipment
2026-09-24 09:51:44 200 江苏海珐Thorium-based molten salt reactors are becoming an important technological direction for fourth-generation nuclear energy. The 2 MWt liquid-fuel thorium-based molten salt experimental reactor, built under the leadership of the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, achieved thorium-uranium nuclear fuel conversion for the first and obtained experimental data after thorium was loaded into the reactor for operation, laying the foundation for the "three-step" progression of experimental reactors, research reactors, and reactors. Molten salt reactors use high-temperature molten salt as a coolant and feature atmospheric-pressure operation, waterless cooling, and high-temperature output, allowing them to be coupled with high-temperature hydrogen production, heat storage, and chemical processes. Global MSR research and development is also accelerating. In 2026, OR and INL in the United States continued to advance fuel salt thermophysical property testing, fluoride-salt-cooled high-temperature reactors, and molten salt experimental facilities. Thorium Fuel Cycle, Liquid-Fueled MSR Fluoride Salt, and IV Reactor have become high-frequency technical terms. High-temperature salt loops impose requirements on circulating and conveying equipment for high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, low leakage, and long-term stable operation. Jiang Haifa Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (.jslgpump.com), with products such as the 610 process pump, high-temperature and high-pressure, and corrosion-resistant magnetic drive pumps, can provide selection support for concentrated solar power and thermal energy storage, molten salt test loops, and related non-nuclear-grade high-temperature fluid systems. As long-tail terms such as Molten Salt Pump, 750°C Nickel Alloy, and Highemperature Corrosion Monitoring gain traction, material compatibility, thermal stress control, and online monitoring for high-temperature molten salt conveying equipment will become key engineering priorities. This version of the text is about 550 Chinese characters. Chinese Academy of Sciences materials confirm that the 2 MWt liquid-fuel thorium-based molten salt experimental reactor has thorium-uranium nuclear fuel conversion is currently the only molten salt reactor in the world that is operating and has achieved thorium fuel loading into the reactor; the Chinese Academy of Sciences also clearly states that molten salt reactors have the characteristics of inherent safety, waterless cooling, atmospheric-pressure operation, and high-temperature output.
