Introduction to msre reactor

 The Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) was a pioneering nuclear reactor project conducted at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in the United States from 1965 to 1969. It aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of molten-salt reactors...

The Role of Neutron Moderators in Nuclear Reactors: Principles, Materials, and Applications

In nuclear engineering, neutron moderators are materials that reduce the speed of fast neutrons, converting them into thermal neutrons capable of initiating the uranium-235 chain reaction. The most common moderators include light water, graphite, and...
