Molten salt reactor technologies :Putting science into standards

30 May 2024

This report presents insights from the Putting Science into Standards (PSIS) workshop on Molten Salt Reactors (MSR), aiming to accelerate the market adoption of MSR technology by leveraging the expertise of the European research and innovation community using standardisation. The imperative for MSR deployment arises from the pressing need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and en-hance energy security in the European Union (EU) while striving to achieve the targets set forth in the Net Zero Industry Act. MSRs offer significant potential to contribute to decarbonizing energy mixes, providing baseload energy production and fortifying energy security alongside intermittent renewable sources like wind and photovoltaic power. The workshop focused on collecting stake-holder needs and promoting scientific community participation in standardisation efforts, identifying gaps in existing standards and prioritising areas for future standardisation. By harnessing the col-lective expertise and insights of stakeholders and the scientific community, the PSIS workshop laid the groundwork for a standardisation and harmonisation roadmap ensuring the safety, security, and accessibility of MSR technologies in the market.
