Moltex Energy
We have the technology to transform the energy landscape, ushering in a new age of clean, low-cost energy for all. Our design is smaller, simpler and inherently safe, making it low-cost to build and operate. We recycle waste from existing nuclear power stations, and use it to produce more clean energy. We can store energy [ ]

What these terms mean
Every classification on this page, defined. These are controlled-vocabulary terms, so the same word means the same thing on every profile.
- Reactor developer
- Develops a fission reactor design. Carries no implication that anything is licensed, funded or built.
- Fission
- Advanced and small modular fission reactor developers, plus established reactor vendors.
- Molten salt reactor › › Molten salt reactor
- Fuel DISSOLVED in the salt. Distinct from a salt-cooled reactor with solid fuel — conflating the two is the most common advanced-nuclear classification error.
- Mixed oxide fuel
- Mixed oxide fuel, combining plutonium with uranium. Uses material recovered from reprocessing rather than fresh enrichment.
In Moltex Energy’s own words
Quoted from the organisation’s own site as we archived it. Their description of themselves, not ours, and not a claim this site has checked.
At Moltex, we are transforming the energy supply with inherently safe nuclear reactors that deliver clean energy at a lower cost than coal or gas.
Our design is smaller, simpler and inherently safe, making it low-cost to build and operate.
We recycle waste from existing nuclear power stations, and use it to produce more clean energy.
We can store energy and supply it to the grid as needed, enabling intermittent renewables.
We can produce heat for hydrogen, replacing the need for fossil fuels in heating, transport and industry.
We are working through approval processes in Canada, through to construction of our first reactor for NB Power. Thereafter the global market is almost inconceivably large.
The speed at which we can get waste-burning reactors built will determine how quickly we can start to roll back global CO2, contribute to a healthier planet, and improve people’s lives.
