However, other materials including nuclear waste from conventional reactors, or natural uranium can be used to produce energy if additional neutrons can be added. The nature of the cooling agent: gas, molten metal, molten salt.

Researchers are considering three different types: a lead-cooled fast reactor, a uranium-fueled, helium-gas-cooled reactor, and a molten-salt-cooled reactor, shown here [below, at bottom]. One is a thorium-fueled molten-salt reactor. The reactors would be small, modular units.

In the paper in Nature they showed that intermediate-temperature (200 to 350 ˚C) molten salts containing caesium or potassium cations enable carbonate ions (CO 3 2– ) to deprotonate very weakly acidic C–H bonds, generating carbon-centered nucleophiles that react with CO 2 to form carboxylates.

The system would also capture waste heat from the solar cells, providing additional gains from the sun’s energy. The thermo-acoustic unit, which was originally designed for space missions, converts waste heat from the solar cell into sound waves that generate electricity using few moving parts.
