Probably the best known use of sodium chloride is as a food additive. The Salt Institute estimates that humans consume an average of 16 tons of salt during their lifetimes. Salt has long been used on foods to improve flavor and also as a preservative. Salted foods last longer than unsalted foods because salt inhibits the growth of microorganisms that cause decay. 

Still, the most important use of sodium chloride by far is as a raw material in the production of other compounds. In 2004, 65 percent of all the sodium chloride consumed in the United States was used in the production of sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, hydrogen chloride, sodium metal, chlorine gas, and other chemical products. The next most important use of sodium chloride is in water conditioners. The compound is used in such devices because the sodium in sodium chloride will replace the calcium and magnesium in hard water (water in which it is hard to make suds). By softening water with sodium chloride, clothing and other materials can be cleaned more efficiently at lower cost. The Salt Institute claims that sodium chloride has more than 14,000 distinct uses. Some of the most important of those uses include ...

The principal stakeholder of the development of the MSR-FUJI is the International Thorium Molten-Salt Institute (ITHMSI), under the leadership of President K. Furukawa and Chief Manager Y. Kato. The R D is supported by individual research groups in many Member States. The development is currently at a stage of an early conceptual design. Further need in R D for the MSR FUJI related to the structural materials and components has been identified. 

The principal stakeholder is the International Thorium Molten-Salt Institute (ITHMSI), President K. Furukawa and Chief Manager Y. Kato. In the USA, Energy Frontiers International (President Dr. J. Pleasant) and Vallecitos Research Associates (President Dr. R. Moir) are cooperating closely with ITHMSI. The Russian Federal Institute of Technical Physics in Snezhinsk (Director, Dr. E. Avrorin Deputy Science Director, Dr. V. Simonenko) is working with ITHMSI and other research teams in the Russian Federation.
