Molten Salt Reactor Workshop at PSI on December 10, 2025.
PSI as a signatory of the Generation IV International Forum is involved in a collaboration on fourth generation nuclear systems development and will host in December the GIF MSR (Molten Salt Reactor) project meeting. At this occasion, LSM will organize a Molten Salt Reactor workshop. Different national programs of GIF member states will be presented inclusive the Swiss activities on 10. December from 9:00 to 13:00 in the PSI auditorium. Interested PSI scientists are welcome to participate.

We launched the project in 2002 and our current goals are:
- to study neutronics and nucleonics, thermal hydraulics and fuel behaviour of advanced fast-spectrum nuclear reactors using modern computational tools: TRACE/PARCS/FRED, Eranos/EQL3D, Serpent 2, OpenFOAM;
- to evaluate safety of fast reactors developed in Europe, in particular, European Sodium Fast Reactor (ESFR);
- to analyse innovative design solutions for Generation-IV Molten Salt Reactor;
- to represent Switzerland internationally at GIF, IAEA, OECD, EURATOM;
- to educate young researchers and students, in particular, via the ETHZ/EPFL Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering and EPFL PhD programs.
