Two nuclear start-ups, Stellaria and Thorizon, each in consortium with Orano, have been selected by the French government to receive funding through the France 2030 national investment plan to develop molten salt reactors. Each consortium has been awarded a €10m ($10,8m) grant. The two projects are the result of a collaboration of several months bringing together these three companies with the aim of developing a European molten salt reactor (MSR) sector.
