Compact Molten Salt Reactor Being Manufactured by Seaborg Technologies, a Danish corporation (CMSR)
The goal of Seaborg is to enable developing nations with rising energy markets that are unable to rely primarily on renewable energy by providing clean, affordable electricity aboard mass-produced, modular floating power barges. One CMSR can produce 100MWe or 250MWth of electricity, making the idea a compact modular reactor technology that enables quick deployment, cheaper capital costs, and more site options. The scalable power barge design allows for combinations with two to eight active CMSRs, with a maximum output of 800MWe or 2000MWth.

How has COVID-19 had a significant negative impact on the Molten Salt Reactors Market?
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments all around the world have taken harsh measures that have impacted a large portion of society. It is critical to maintain dependable electrical supplies and 'keep the lights on.' Nuclear power generates around 10% of the world's electricity and contributes to the generation of electricity in more than 30 countries. Nuclear workers have been highlighted as one of the key professionals who will be required to maintain critical infrastructure during the pandemic in several countries. Critical infrastructure status has also been extended to nuclear power plants, supply chains, fuel services, and outage support staff in the United States, for example.

What are the Current Market Drivers?
MSR is Support for Solar and Wind Power Issues Around the World
The characteristics of molten salt reactors can aid in the freeloading of carbon dioxide in wind and solar power in such a scenario. When the discharge of xenon gas increases in traditional nuclear reactors utilized for wind and solar power, the nuclear processes generally slow down. As the xenon gas decays, it takes several days for the process to recommence. The excess xenon emitted by molten salt reactors is not a concern because of the off-gas system, which allows for quick xenon removal and no delay in scaling up and down the molten salt reactor.
MSR Can be a Sustainable Form of Energy
Although it has been determined that there is insufficient nuclear power, it has also been established that there is sufficient nuclear fuel to support humanity for millions of years. Nuclear waste, uranium, and plutonium reserves are used in molten salt reactors. A molten salt reactor called a liquid fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR) employs thorium as fuel, as do breeder reactors, which are molten salt reactors that use uranium -238 as fuel, which accounts for 93.3 percent of natural uranium. Conventional reactors, on the other hand, utilize uranium-235, which accounts for only 0.7 percent of natural uranium.
Where are the Market Opportunities?
Production of Energy, Mainly Electricity, will be Benefited with the More Use of the Molten Salt Reactor
With the advent of the molten salt reactor, which employs thorium, a radioactive metal for energy generation, traditional reactors that use solid fuels for energy production, mostly electricity, are expected to be phased out. Although a traditional power generation is less expensive to put up than molten salt reactors, the molten salt reactors will outperform them in terms of production capacity. Because the entire process is based on a nuclear reaction in a molten salt reactor, more neutrons will be released, implying that if the fuel is reprocessed, reactors could be fueled without having to mine any additional U-235 for higher reactivity; thus, when thorium absorbs a neutron and becomes Pa-233, the Protactinium can be removed from the core and will be allowed to decay to U-233 without any risk of causing parasitic neutron losses.
Thorium-Based Molten Salt Reactors Are Expected to Cost Less and to be a More Stable Source of Energy Generation
Molten salt reactors based on thorium are predicted to be less expensive and more reliable sources of energy generation. Electricity is generated in conventional power stations using solid fuels such as coal. Nuclear reactors, which use radioactive metals like uranium to create power, were invented as technology advanced. Uranium is a highly radioactive metal that can outperform coal-fired power plants in terms of output. Uranium, on the other hand, is a rare metal that isn't found everywhere. As a result, molten salt reactors, which utilise thorium, which is three times more abundant than uranium, are on the cusp of commercialization, with the goal of achieving long-term sustainability. One tonne of thorium is said to create the same amount of energy as 200 tonnes of uranium, or 3,500,000 tons of coal.
