The workshop covers molten salt reactor (MSR) advancements, development programs, international collaborations, and demonstration efforts. Program themes include MSR roadmaps covering properties, off-gas, and safeguards; fuel salt supply and specifications; building the nuclear ecosystem; and updates on MSR development. Technical sessions address communicating MSRs, irradiation testing of salts and alloys, transportation considerations, molten salt processing, nitrate-salt heat storage, gas turbines, and tritium control. Parallel breakouts cover thermal-property characterization of molten salts and modeling for MSR development and analysis, including SCALE, Thermochimica with MSD-TC, MELCOR, and OpenPronghorn. The program also includes developer forums, lightning talks, a poster session, and an ORNL hot cells and graphite reactor tour.
