The Thorium Molten Salt Reactor: Moving on From the MSBR [PDF]
Progress in Nuclear Energy, 2006 A re-evaluation of the Molten Salt Breeder Reactor concept has revealed problems related to its safety and to the complexity of the reprocessing considered. A reflection is carried out anew in view of finding innovative solutions leading to the Thorium Molten Salt Reactor concept.
