The Molten Salt Reactor is a type of nuclear reactor where the fuel is dissolved in a molten salt. The molten salt reactor is a very safe type of nuclear reactor because it cannot melt down. The molten salt reactor is also a very efficient type of nuclear reactor because the fuel is in a liquid state.
Some of the emerging trends in Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) research include the development of new reactor designs, the use of novel materials, and the exploration of new fuel cycles.
