Enabling High-Temperature Molten Salt Concentrating Solar-Thermal Power through the Facility to Alleviate Salt Technology Risks (FASTR)

This project focuses on the design, construction, and operation of a lab-scale test facility to alleviate salt technology risks (FASTR). FASTR is a versatile high-temperature molten chloride salt facility designed for temperatures greater than 700 ° Celsius and for a variety of testing in support of the Gen3 CSP molten salt pathway. FASTR and the accompanying research will provide the foundational capabilities necessary to support Gen3 CSP awardees.
