Save the dates for the next workshop on molten salt reactors

The 2016 workshop will build upon the highly successful “50^th Anniversary of the Startup of the MSRE” held last year at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). This year’s event will also be held at ORNL.  (Updated with a link to the full agenda including all speakers and topics)

ORNL will again host this second MSR workshop with the theme of “Moving MSRs Forward -The Next Steps.”

From the the conference web site:

We plan to have sessions on MSR related progress made in the areas of R&D, technology enhancements, and commercial developments since the 2015 workshop.

Additional topics include the status of licensing related initiatives that are being undertaken via the DOE-NRC collaborations on advanced reactors. DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy’s GAIN program is assisting in the sponsorship of this workshop.
