Molten Salt Reactors and Thorium Energy (2nd Ed.) Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy Series
Coordonnateurs : Dolan Thomas James, Pazsit Imre, Rykhlevskii Andrei, Yoshioka Ritsuo
Molten Salt Reactors and Thorium Energy, Second Edition is a fully updated comprehensive reference on the latest advances in MSR research and technology. Building on the successful first edition, Tom Dolan and the team of experts have fully updated the content to reflect the impressive advances from the last 5 years, ensuring this book continues to be the go-to reference on the topic. This new edition covers progress made in MSR design, details innovative experiments, and includes molten salt data, corrosion studies and deployment plans. The successful case studies section of the first edition have been removed, expanded, and fully updated, and are now published in a companion title called Global Case Studies on Molten Salt Reactors.
Readers will gain a deep understanding of the advantages and challenges of MSR development and thorium fuel use, as well as step-by-step guidance on the latest in MSR reactor design. Each chapter provides a clear introduction, covers technical issues and includes examples and conclusions, while promoting the sustainability benefits throughout.

He developed three courses at the University of Missouri-Rolla on fusion research principles, fusion experiments, and fusion technology. As well as the numerous academic positions he has held, he also has experience working in industry (Phillips Petroleum Company) on fusion research and other nuclear topics. As Head of the Physics Section of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) he helped facilitate international cooperation in fusion research, including organization of the semi-annual IAEA Fusion Energy Conferences. Since then he has taught courses on fusion research at the University of Illinois, in China, and in India.
Imre Pázsit has been working with the theory and application of stochastic particle processes for several decades both at an academic level and with concrete applications to existing power plants in Sweden and elsewhere. He is internationally recognised for his contributions in reactor diagnostics with neutron noise methods. He is also a Fellow of the American Nuclear Society.
Andrei Rykhlevskii is Postdoctoral Appointee in Research & Test Reactors Department at the Argonne National Laboratory. He received his PhD and MS in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and BS from Bauman Moscow Technical University (Russia). He was previously a nuclear reactor analyst in ROSATOM (Russia).
In nuclear fuel cycle research, he worked on neutronics performance and fuel depletion analysis of various Molten Salt Reactors. His main research interests are nuclear fuel cycle optimization and advanced nuclear reactor modeling.
