TMSR-LF1
TMSR-LF1 (Chinese: 液态燃料钍基熔盐实验堆 lit.: "liquid fuel thorium-based molten salt experimental reactor") is a 2 MWt molten salt reactor (MSR) prototype operating in northwest China.[location note] The TMSR facility grew from the collaborative efforts of "nearly 100 domestic research institutions, universities and industrial companies", and is now "the world's only research platform dedicated to molten salt reactors and thorium-uranium fuel cycle studies". == History == The "LF" (liquid fuel) design is directly based on the 1960s Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment.
