The new system uses molten salts instead of traditional fuel rods. The world is rethinking nuclear power plants in the face of climate change. Your average plant produces 8,000 times more power than fossil fuels and is environmentally friendly..
Nuclear accidents may cause serious effects on humans. However, a team of engineers has developed a smaller, safer nuclear reactor that uses molten salts.
BYU professor and nuclear engineering expert Matthew Memmott and his colleagues have designed a new system for nuclear energy production: a molten salt micro-nuclear reactor that may solve meltdown risks.
