IMSR® Technology
IMSR® cogeneration plants capture the full advantages of molten salt fission technology and the superiority of a molten salt as a reactor coolant. They are safe, reliable, carbon-free and low-cost. They produce thermal energy (heat) at high temperature for the industrial sector. IMSR® plants offer a game-changing 50% efficiency improvement in electricity generation. With many industrial uses and compelling economic potential, IMSR® plants are a powerful tool to drive economic growth, support energy security, and achieve net-zero quickly. They are the much-needed alternative to burning fossil fuels for industrial heat.
Commercial Advantages
Nuclear fission technology and plant design choices in the IMSR®® cogeneration plant deliver compelling cost-competitive commercial advantages over fossil fuel combustion and conventional nuclear plants.
Many Industrial Uses
IMSR®® cogeneration plants produce high-temperature heat or power or a mix of both. They can serve the electric grid and industries alike. They can load-follow seamlessly as the clean power partner for variable renewables.
Path to Market
Terrestrial Energy’s regulatory and engineering programs target an international role-out of IMSR®® cogeneration plants starting 2030. We have a track record of meeting our milestones.
How it Works
The IMSR®® cogeneration plant blends proven molten salt technology with innovative and patented enhancements, including the integration of primary reactor components into a sealed, replaceable vessel called the IMSR®® Core-unit.
