and has passed legislation that requires the closure of all commercial nuclear
reactors by 2022.
A consortium of research institutes and universities working under the aegis of the European Commission recently embarked on a four-year research program designed to demonstrate the safety benefits of molten-salt
reactors. Called "Safety Assessment of the Molten Salt Fast
Reactor," or Samofar, the effort will lead to a prototype
reactor by the early 2020s if all goes as planned.
Senate Committee on Appropriations, looks at the current status of several advanced designs, including a high temperature gas-cooled
