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.
Educational Session|Panel|Workforce Development/Challenges

Track Organizer:
Bruce Hennigan (Constellation)
Knowledge Manager:
John Mobley IV (Iowa State University)
This year the Workforce Development Track has added a discussion around the training, development, and retention of Engineers, including all areas of Engineering Leadership, Design, Programs, Systems, Fuels, etc. Similar to other Departments, the traditional engineering initial training included classroom, mentoring and continuing training has strengths but also has some challenges as well as opportunities to use new methods, systems, and tools, individually and across the industry. To discuss the challenges and opportunities we have brought together this panel to share different ideas and perspectives.
