Assessment of TMSR-500 Shutdown Capability
Atom Indonesia, 2022 The molten salt reactor (MSR) is a generation IV reactor with liquid fuel having nearly zero excess reactivity. Due to the very low excess reactivity, it requires a small number of control rods worth to shut down the reactor.

HTGR fuel rod deconsolidation [PDF]
, 1978 High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor fuel particles are bonded into rods by a carbonaceous matrix. In conjunction with the development of a system to determine fuel failure fractions from gamma analysis of individual particles, a technique was developed to separate the particles from the matrix after irradiation.
