OAK RIDGE, Tennessee, Oct. 19 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
When exposed to radiation, electrons produced within molten zinc chloride, or ZnCl2, can be observed in three distinct singly occupied molecular orbital states, plus a more diffuse, delocalized state. Credit: Hung H. Nguyen/University of Iowa
In a finding that helps elucidate how molten salts in advanced nuclear reactors might behave, scienti . . .
