The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to design, develop, fabricate, and test castable cement tanks and piping for high temperature molten salt (capable of withstanding temperatures greater than 750°C). Testing and materials development would focus on optimizing the castable cement composition’s corrosion and penetration resistance to molten salt. Testing would also seek to demonstrate the functionality of the cement tanks under flow conditions.
