fissionaire's reactors are the essence of simplicity and safety.

HERE's HOW IT's DONE

PROLIFERATION RESISTANT
THERMAL SPECTRUM MOLTEN SALT BREEDER REACTOR

✅ No exotic fuel manufacturing and procurement.

✅ No water, LOW pressure.

✅ NO SEPARATED weapons-grade Uranium OR PLUTONIUM.

OUR FUEL
The Liquid Fuel Salt
A small amount of LEU+ is dissolved in  molten LiF-BeF2 or FLiBe salt.
This single fluid fuel salt combined with chemical processing is the key to  safely breeding from thorium. 
Fissionaire’s design does not employ a breeding blanket and doesn't produce weapon’s grade uranium.
MOLTEN SALT
THE REACTOR CORE
FUEL LOOP
Fuel salt is circulated through channels of proprietary ceramic composites in the core.

These ceramic composite tubes are designed to handle high radiation, heat, and corrosiveness.

The fuel salt flows via natural convection, eliminating one of the most complex components of an MSR, a molten salt pump that can withstand continuous irradiation, and corrosive salts at high temperatures.

INTEGRATED
COOLING LOOP
Molten FLiBe salt, but without fuel, flows outside each fuel tube, maximizing heat transfer.  This now even hotter coolant salt is pumped at high volumes and low pressures, exiting the core and removing the heat from the fission taking place in the cores fuel tubes.

COMBINED
FUEL & COOLANT CONFIG
Optimized for maximum fuel utilization and heat transfer, leaving radiation in the core, our system produces the highest exergy (ability to do work) of any reactor design.
2034
ONLINE
RE-FUELING
FUEL PROCESSING SYSTEM
The near complete fuel utilization, online continuous processing of neutron poisons, the reburning of actinides, and the ability to add and regulate fuel salt without shutting down for months, makes the Thermal Spectrum Molten Salt Breeder Reactor a far superior technology in every category.
