The US Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded Terrestrial Energy USA a regulatory assistance grant to support the company’s US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensing programme for its Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) plant. This comes after the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) in April concluded that there were no fundamental barriers to licensing the IMSR plant for Canadian commercial use. The decision followed a systematic and multi-year review against Canadian regulatory requirements. It was the first regulatory review of a nuclear plant using molten salt reactor technology and the first advanced, high-temperature fission technology to complete a review of this type.

South Korea’s Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) has said it has received Approval In Principle from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for a conceptual design of a Compact Molten Salt Reactor (CMSR) Power Barge - floating offshore NPP – using technology being developed by Denmark’s Seaborg. SHI signed a business agreement with Seaborg in January 2022 to develop a floating NPP and plans to commercialise it by 2028 after completing detailed design of all power generation facilities.

The Danish nuclear reactor company Seaborg Technologies is currently completing important experiments in collaboration with both experts from Neutron and Muon Source (ISIS) at Oxford (UK) and European Spallation Source (ESS) research centre in Lund in Sweden. The goal is to understand how neutrons in modern reactors behave. The new knowledge should allow Seaborg to optimise their reactor design. The company is aiming for 2025 for having its first reactor online. Seaborg is developing compact thorium-based Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs).
