The Compatibility of Nuclear Graphite With Molten Salt in the Molten Salt Reactor

Volume 2: Plant Systems, Structures, Components, and Materials; Risk Assessments and Management, 2018
In thermal Molten Salt Reactors, the nuclear graphite core is in direct contact with the molten salt coolant. Due to the porous nature of nuclear graphite, the molten salt may infiltrate the nuclear graphite, which may affect the mechanical strength and irradiation behavior of the nuclear graphite.

EMF Measurements in Molten Salts*

1968
An e.m.f. measurement is capable, in principle, of providing directly the free energy of the cell process, and therefore all the thermodynamic information obtainable from the free energy and its derivatives. E.m.f. measurements may therefore provide free energies of formation of pure molten salts, free energies of mixing in binary molten salt mixtures,

MOLTEN-SALT CONVERTER REACTORS

Annals of Nuclear Energy, 1975
Abstract Molten-salt reactors appear to have substantial promise as advanced converters. Conversion ratios of 0.85 – 0.9 should be attainable with favorable fuel cycle costs, with 235U valued at $12/g. An increase in 235U value by a factor of two or three ($10–$30/lb. U3O3, $75/SWU) would be expected to increase the optimum conversion ratio, but this

Mass transfer in molten salt and suspended molten salt in bubble column

Chemical Engineering Science, 2013
Abstract Recently, the practical uses of bubble columns and slurry bubble columns at elevated temperature have attracted much attention. However, there is less knowledge of mass transfer in high temperature slurry bubble column, even though mass transfer data is essential to design bubble column and slurry bubble column. In this study, the CO 2 mass

Molten Salt for Molten Salt Reactors (MS4MSRs)

This thesis presents a comprehensive thermodynamic investigation of alternative molten salt systems for use in both thermal- and fast-spectrum molten salt reactors (MSRs). The work integrates new experimental data with advanced thermodynamic modelling to establish a consistent and validated database for both fluoride- and chloride-based fuel ...

Fuel Salt for the Molten-Salt Reactor

Atomic Energy, 2013
The solubility of Th, U, Ce, La, and Pr in melted salt 45LiF–12NaF–43KF, which supports a fast neutron spectrum for the molten-salt reactor, is found experimentally to be high in the interval 550–700°C. On the basis of an analysis of the physicochemical and nuclear-physical properties of different fluoride salts, it is proposed that the eutectic 46 ...

Densities of Solid and Molten Salt Hydrates and Their Mixtures and Viscosities of the Molten Salts

Journal of Chemical & Engineering Data, 2004
The densities of the salt hydrate phase-change materials (PCMs) crystalline ammonium alum (aluminum ammonium disulfate dodecahydrate), aluminum nitrate nonahydrate, and magnesium nitrate hexahydrate as well as their melts and of solid aluminum sulfate and magnesium acetate hydrates and anhydrous ammonium nitrate and sulfate were determined as a ...

CHAPTER 20. Volumetric Behaviour of Molten Salts and Molten Salt Hydrates

2014
The volumetric behaviour of molten salts and salt hydrates depends on their measured densities as functions of the temperature at ambient pressure. Ultrasound velocities are also needed for obtaining compressibility data. The methodology employed for these measurements, as it is applicable at elevated temperatures, is briefly described.
