Idaho National Laboratory has unveiled the Molten Salt Thermophysical Examination Capability (MSTEC), designed to analyze both irradiated and nonirradiated actinide materials, particularly high temperature liquid fuel salts. This facility is part of the National Reactor Innovation Center's efforts to advance nuclear energy technologies in the U.S.

MSTEC will provide essential data to support various molten salt reactor designs, enhancing technical readiness and safety. It will also serve as a training platform for future scientists and engineers in the field.
