Novel technique used to observe molten salt intrusion in nuclear-grade graphite
In response to a renewed international interest in molten salt reactors, researchers from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a novel technique to visualize molten salt intrusion in graphite. During ORNL's revolutionary Molten Salt Reactor Experiment, or MSRE, in the 1960s, scientists first demonstrated the feasibility of nuclear fission reactions with m
