The issue of nuclear energy has been the main battlefield of my country's energy policy confrontation for more than a decade. A few years ago, the government and the opposition reached a consensus on a non-nuclear homeland, but in recent years, the rise of the "scientific and rational" nuclear energy mythbusters has quickly reversed the war situation. Opposition parties and pro-nuclear groups have made it clear that they hope to restart Nuechnologies, the molten salt reactor is most often discussed, which theoretically allows the conversion of existing nuclear waste into fuel, and because it operates at a lower pressure, it is safer.
In October 2019, the Netherlands completed the radiation test of molten salt nuclear fuel , and the study is expected to further test the selection of reactor materials in 2020. This is indeed an important progress in scientific and technological research, but it is Special Database still uncertain before it can be commercialized into the global power generation market. The concept of molten salt reactor actually came out as early as the 1950s, but due to a combination of factors such as extremely high fuel temperature, strong corrosiveness, and radioactivity, there is no suitable equipment material that can avoid embrittlement and operate stably. The cost of investment is extremely high, and there are currently no conditions for commercial transfer. Bill Gates has invested billions of dollars in the establishment of
Terra Energy as early as 2006. It was originally scheduled to test a new generation of reactors in China, but under the framework of the Sino-US trade war, the United States blocked it for national security reasons. realization of this plan. However, even excluding political factors, the real technical problems are difficult. The MIT report pointed out that the plan is exaggerated, and the related technical theory has been published 60 years ago, and many countries have decided not to adopt it after evaluation and review.
