News Open menu 15 September 2023 TU Delft Reactor Institute in Focus broadcast on Nuclear Energy On Monday 11 September 2023, Focus aired a broadcast on nuclear energy in which EPZ, COVRA and TU Delft Reactor Institute were interviewed. Read more 10 July 2023 TU Delft Reactor Institute is happy to announce: proposal Material Independence & Circular Batteries accepted by Growth Fund Battery technology plays a crucial role in the energy transition as a storage system for green energy. For stabilising the electricity grid and for electrification of the mobility sector. The Material Independence & Circular Batteries proposal focuses on realising a strong position for the Dutch manufacturing industry in the global battery chain focusing on critical materials independence, sustainability and circularity Read more 07 July 2023 60 years research and education with the Delft University of Technology reactor In the glossy '60 years Reactor Institute', we interviewed the last three directors who look back on their time at the institute. But we also look forward. Read more 07 July 2023 From table salt to nuclear energy Nick ter Veer, a PhD student at the Delft University of Technology, has recently synthesized a promising thorium chloride salt, that can be used to fuel a new generation of nuclear reactors. Thorium has great potential, in combination with an uranium or plutonium based fuel, for a more sustainable nuclear fuel cycle, thereby producing less long lived radioactive waste. Together with the Reactor Physics & Nuclear Materials research team, he is now looking at this salt’s properties, to assess its suitability for use in the so-called Molten Salt Reactors.

Dit zal worden bereikt met nieuwe luminescerende materialen die uniform over het gehele zichtbare zonnespectrum kunnen absorberen, de geabsorbeerde energie opnieuw kunnen emitteren en transporteren naar zonnecellen.
