The flow loop is one of only a handful of its kind available for industry research, development and testing and will play a central role in an ongoing SwRI project to reduce methane emissions.

The Molten Salt Flow Loop Test Bed is meant to allow for continuous, real-time monitoring and analysis that makes molten salt research more efficient.

Southern Company and INL’s molten salt test loop marks a major step toward safer, efficient Gen IV nuclear reactors with real-time corrosion monitoring.
