Three salt reactor experiments are under construction in the United States. Kairos Power in Oak Ridge, Tennessee is building the 35-MWt Hermes Fluoride-salt-cooled High-temperature Reactor with clean salt and TRISO fuel. Natura Resources and Abilene Christian University are building a 1 megawatt Molten Salt Research Reactor (MSRR) with fuel dissolved in the salt. TerraPower at Idaho National Laboratory is building a 150-kW Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment. The panel participants from EPRI (Daniel Monegham), Kairos Power (Nader Satvat), Abilene Christian University (Rusty Towell) and TerraPower (Sam Goodrich) will discuss progress in building these reactors and path forward to commercial deployment.
