Texas opens $350M in nuclear funding
Three years ago, the Texas Public Utility Commission launched the Advanced Nuclear Reactor Working Group at the direction of Gov. Greg Abbott. One year later, that new group issued a report recommending several actions to the Texas legislature that could be taken to attract new nuclear projects to the state.
Included in those recommendations were the foundation of a nonregulatory entity to coordinate Texas’s “strategic nuclear vision” along with an advanced nuclear fund to help “overcome the funding valley project developers face” in the state.

At this panel, scientists and engineers from molten salt reactor companies and research institutions will provide their views regarding industrial needs for fundamental research on molten salt properties, chemistry, and corrosion to support molten salt reactor development and applications. The session will cover both fluoride and chloride salts. Each panelist will present a short presentation prior to an open Q&A session in which the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions, provide suggestions, and express their opinions. It is expected that the session will facilitate fruitful discussion between industry experts, researchers at national laboratories, and universities, including scientists, professors and students.
