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.

An analysis was made of the surface fluxes of hydrogen species in order to determine the activation energies which affect the bulk and surface inventories in a lithium ceramic. It was found that in the absence of protium, Sievert Law is obeyed and the concentration depends on However, in the presence of protium, the concentration depends on PHT. The bulk and surface concentrations were found to depend on a combination of all four surface energies in the activation energy of solution and the heat of adsorption.
