How the Natrium nuclear reactor plant works The project features a 345 MW sodium-cooled fast reactor with a molten salt-based energy storage system. Unlike water, the sodium doesn’t need to be pumped, because as it gets hot, it rises, and as it rises, it cools off. Get started here.

We are transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, and the use of energy storage is becoming more widespread. Others solid battery types are nickel-cadmium and sodium-sulphur, while zinc-air is emerging. Technologies include energy storage with molten salt and liquid air or cryogenic storage.
