LFTRs are defined by the use of fluoride fuel salts and the breeding of thorium into uranium-233 in the thermal neutron spectrum. The LFTR concept was first investigated at the Oak Ridge …

LFTR takes the benefits of a molten salt reactor and combines it with a commercially available fuel supply. The following specifications are for the standard LFTR design, but customizations …

Flibe Energy is pursuing a design called a liquid-fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR), which is a modern variant of the work initiated at Oak Ridge during their research into molten-salt reactors.

This paper will focus on the Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR) design, an implementation of one such Gen IV idea, the Molten Salt Reactor. The goal here is to present the basics of a …

Usually the name LFTR is used for a design that includes two separate molten salt cycles that are combined in a single reactor. The first is the core fluid, the second is called the ‘blanket’.

Fluorine has extremely high electronegativity, allowing fluoride salts to retain most fission products. In fluoride form, all actinides and alkaline fission products – most notably cesium and …

Flibe Energy, Inc., is developing the Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR) concept, an innovative two-fluid molten-salt nuclear reactor coupled to a closed-cycle gas turbine for power …

A liquid fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR) is a type of molten salt reactor (MSR) that uses a heterogeneous design to breed U-233 fuel from a fertile blanket of lithium-beryllium fluoride …

The LFTR is a type of molten salt reactor (MSR) fueled with thorium. Every LFTR must initially start with thorium that is subsequently transformed into fissile uranium-233 (U-233) within the …

LFTR is designed to take full advantage of the thorium fuel cycle, bringing many benefits over competing designs. LFTR is the long-term solution for a scalable nuclear future.
