An advanced testing facility where molten salt reactor technologies can be developed and tested has been launched at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, in the province of North Brabant in the Netherlands.
[...]
The test facility is being developed through the PROMOSA project. In January 2025, Brabant-based technology companies Demcon, Thorizon and VDL Group signed a project agreement to develop and test technology for MSRs. The PROMOSA project focuses on demonstrating and validating the manufacturability, safety, and functionality of critical components and non-nuclear (sub)systems of these reactors. All components will be tested in high-temperature molten salt, without the use of nuclear fuel. The work is to be carried out in collaboration with the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research (DIFFER), a leading research institute in Eindhoven in Noord-Brabant province.
