Molten Salt Reactor - Yoyuenro

Japanese: 溶融塩炉 - ヨウユウエンロ
Molten Salt Reactor - Yoyuenro
A nuclear reactor that extracts heat by circulating liquid fuel, which is made by dissolving nuclear fuel material in molten salt. The nuclear fuel material is thorium and uranium fluorides. This technology was developed in the United States in the 1950s, but due to the abundance of thorium resources and the fact that it produces only small amounts of plutonium that can be converted into weapons, it is being developed as one of the fourth generation nuclear reactors. MSR (molten salt reactor).

溶融塩に核燃料物質を溶解させた液体燃料を循環させて熱を取り出す原子炉。核燃料物質として、トリウムおよびウランのフッ化物を用いる。1950年代に米国で開発された技術だが、トリウム資源が豊富にあることや、兵器に転用可能なプルトニウムの生成量が微量で核拡散抵抗性に優れていることなどから、第四世代原子炉の一つとして開発が進められている。MSR(molten salt reactor)。
