The US Department of Energy is overseeing Project TETRA, which aims to demonstrate the operation of the Integral Molten Salt Reactor, a fourth-generation nuclear technology. This reactor utilizes molten salt as both fuel and coolant, achieving an efficiency of 44% with a potential output of 392 MWe, and is designed for easier maintenance with a sealed core. The initiative is part of the Advanced Reactor Pilot Program, exploring innovative applications such as high-temperature heat supply for various industries.
