Molten Salt Solutions, operates as a technology company that focuses on developing isotopically enriched material production, synthesis, and purification technology required for advanced fission and fusion nuclear power. In February 2021, Molten Salt Solutions, LLC, raised USD 0.272 million in funding from the National Science Foundation.
