29 May (NucNet): Canada-based Terrestrial Energy will work with the Dalton Nuclear Institute at the University of Manchester, UK, to advance the integral molten salt reactor (IMSR) to the construction and licensing phase, expected early 2017, a statement said. Terrestrial Energy said the IMSR is a Generation IV nuclear reactor system that represents “a revolution in nuclear safety, waste, proliferation and cost competitiveness”. It can provide stable, carbon-free, high-quality heat and electricity for industrial customers at a cost that is competitive with fossil fuels, including coal power, the company said. The IMSR is grid- and water- independent, scalable, and “far more convenient than fossil fuel power”. The IMSR is ideal for small and medium electricity markets, industrial facilities and remote communities, the company said. For details: http://terrestrialenergy.com
