New work for old FLiBe? DOE considers reuse of molten salt reactor coolant
FLiBe—a mixture of lithium fluoride and beryllium fluoride—is not an off-the-shelf commodity. The Department of Energy suspects that researchers and reactor developers may have a use for the 2,000 kilograms of fluoride-based salt that once ran through the secondary coolant loop of the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

With the implementation of Hydrogen Production at hand here in the U.S. and the potential benefits to be derived in light of today’s environment, this session will provide a multi-faceted perspective of hydrogen production for potential implementation across the operating fleet. This panel will be prepared to discuss the opportunities & challenges facing sites considering such efforts as well as the status of current efforts on going here in the US, the lessons being learned in the process, and expectations for the near future. Planned perspectives include a diverse panel from near-term operating plant implementation, industry research, government research & support organizations. A brief update by each panel member will precede the panel discussion with the hope and expectation of driving informative dialogue.
