Homogeneous Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs): The Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR) concept

2023
International audience ; Liquid-fueled reactors exhibit unusual and interesting properties compared to solid-fueled reactors, requesting a revision of some well-known conception and safety rules. Emphasis is thus put in this chapter on such differences and the need for innovative approaches with the focus on homogeneous molten salt reactors. The molten

Dynamics of Molten Salt Reactors

Nuclear Technology, 2008
The dynamics of the molten salt reactor (MSR), one of the Generation IV International Forum concepts, was studied. The graphite-moderated channel-type MSR was selected for numerical simulation.

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

Molten salt reactors

Abstract Chapter 18 discusses the development of molten-salt reactors (MSRs) that were initially pursued by Alvin Weinberg at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, with the first MSR becoming critical in 1954. Advantages identified for MSRs included elimination of pressurization equipment that is required for water-cooled reactors and the ...

Molten-Salt Reactor Chemistry

Nuclear Applications and Technology, 1970
This document summarizes the large program of chemical research and development which led to selection of fuel and coolant compositions for the Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) and for subsequent reactors of this type. Chemical behavior of the LiF-BeF2-ZrF4-UF4 fuel mixture and behavior of fission products during power operation of MSRE are ...

Liquid Salt Applications and Molten Salt Reactors

Revue Générale Nucléaire, 2007
In the last 5 years, there has been a rapid growth in interest in the use of high-temperature (700 to 1000°C) molten and liquid fluoride salts as coolants and for other functions in nuclear systems. This interest is a consequence of new applications for high-temperature heat and the development of new reactor concepts.

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 ...
