This animation provides an overview of the Terrestrial Energy Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR), which is the heart of an innovative small modular cogeneration plant designed to produce carbon-free, high-temperature heat for global industry and low-cost electrical power.
Terrestrial Energy Chief Technology Officer Dave Hill provides an update on IMSR commercialization in the U.S. and Canada at Oak Ridge National Lab's 2020 Molten Salt Reactor Workshop.
This animation shows the interior of the IMSR400 power plant. The IMSR400 power plant uses twin Integral Molten Salt Reactors (IMSRs), which operate at nearly 50 percent higher thermal efficiency than conventional reactors for better performance.
This animation shows the exterior of the IMSR400 power plant. The IMSR400 has the capacity to generate 390 MW (net) of clean, reliable and carbon-free electric power using twin reactors and generators.

IMSR power plants use truly innovative nuclear technology to be safe, reliable, clean and low-cost, making them today’s alternative to fossil fuel combustion. Like all nuclear technology, this small modular reactor is emission-free. Producing heat and electricity efficiently makes IMSR power plants a powerful and versatile tool to power economic growth and achieve deep decarbonization.
Terrestrial Energy's IMSR power plants are designed to deliver clean and reliable energy, support variable renewables, and drive industrial heat processes.
National and international efforts to develop new sources of carbon-free energy are exploring a nuclear power concept first introduced in the 1950s and 1960s: the Molten Salt Reactor. This design is vastly different from the current light water nuclear power plant and is inspiring a fresh look at the technology.
