Molten Salt Reactor

These small nuclear power plants will use molten salt in their fuel, making them safer and more versatile and portable than traditional nuclear power plants.

While commercial reactors in use today are cooled by water, the Kairos technology uses molten fluoride salt as a coolant.

A three-vehicle crash in Marion County, Florida, led to 15 people being taken to the hospital. An ambulance headed to a medical call was struck, landing on its side.
