Uranium price soars due to power supply crisis
RTAPR 2022
Decades-old technology might hold the key to unleashing the full potential of nuclear power around the world, as molten chloride reactors could generate more electricity, be cheaper to produce, and be safer and more reliable than current reactors. The risks of the MCRE using highly-enriched uranium will be offset by the adoption of clean, safe, and economical nuclear power.
Dismal performance metrics have been the fruit of all prior molten chloride experiments, as there isn't a single material that can reliably withstand the highly corrosive and radioactive conditions inside the reactor. Energy agencies also doubt that one could ever be economical to deploy. The risks of nuclear proliferation for the sake of an all-but-doomed experiment are too grave to continue the MCRE.
