News & Events Open menu 07 July 2023 From table salt to nuclear energy Nick ter Veer, a PhD student at the Delft University of Technology, has recently synthesized a promising thorium chloride salt, that can be used to fuel a new generation of nuclear reactors. Thorium has great potential, in combination with an uranium or plutonium based fuel, for a more sustainable nuclear fuel cycle, thereby producing less long lived radioactive waste. Together with the Reactor Physics & Nuclear Materials research team, he is now looking at this salt’s properties, to assess its suitability for use in the so-called Molten Salt Reactors.

Daar hebben we goede ontwerpers voor nodig.” Read more 28 June 2023 Laurens de Vries op NOS over verstopping op het elektriciteitsnetwerk Laurens de Vries waarschuwt al jaren voor verstopping op het elektriciteitsnetwerk. Volgens hem is ingrijpen onvermijdelijk: "Door elektrificatie is er zoveel meer vraag naar stroom. Ook het aanbod van stroom neemt weliswaar snel toe, maar het lukt momenteel niet om daarvoor voldoende aansluitingen bij te bouwen." Read more ...
