  • DOE‑backed molten chloride reactor experiment nears criticality testThe U.S. Department of Energy has approved additional funding for the Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment (MCRE), a fast‑spectrum molten chloride salt reactor that is expected to reach criticality as early as 2027. The experiment will provide the first real‑world operating data for this reactor design, which could inform future commercial deployment and regulatory licensing.Stable1 sources · 3 evidence2026-10-16 08:02
