INL makes first fuel for Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment
Idaho National Laboratory has announced the creation of the first batch of enriched uranium chloride fuel salt for the Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment (MCRE). INL said that its fuel production team delivered the first fuel salt batch at the end of September, and it intends to produce four additional batches by March 2026. MCRE will require a total of 72–75 batches of fuel salt for the reactor to go critical.

The composite packing with the hydrophobic platinum catalyst for the isotope exchange reaction in H2O-H2 system was improved to be appreciably active. Therefore, it bacame realistic to design a process for tritium recovery by the dual-temperature exchange method. The separation performance of dual-temperature 5-stage cascade (S3-E2) was simulated. The process was desinged to be operated under the condition of P = 0.1 MPa, TH = 70 °C, TC = 15∼20 °C. The cascade could attain tritium recovery ratio of 0.99 and enriching ratio larger than 103.
