According to the article, this new fuel allows for higher temps, greater efficiency, reduced waste and is safer. Imagine if we had been investing in nuclear harder over the last several decades.
"Scientists at the United States Idaho National Laboratory (INL) have announced a breakthrough for the world’s first critical fast-spectrum molten salt reactor. It is the perfect recipe of the right ingredients for nuclear fuel to power the Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment at INL.
The Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment (MCRE) at INL will test a new type of nuclear reactor that uses a mixture of molten chloride salt and uranium as fuel and coolant."
