Developing Practical Models of Complex Salts for Molten Salt Reactors
Thermo, 2021 Molten salt reactors (MSRs) utilize salts as coolant or as the fuel and coolant together with fissile isotopes dissolved in the salt. It is necessary to therefore understand the behavior of the salts to effectively design, operate, and regulate such ...

Breed-and-burn fuel cycle in molten salt reactors
EPJ Nuclear Sciences & Technologies, 2019 The operation of a reactor on an open but self-sustainable cycle without actinide separation is known as breed-and-burn. It has mostly been envisioned for use in solid-fueled fast-spectrum reactors such as sodium-cooled fast reactors.

Characterisation of molten salts for their application to Molten Salt Reactors
PAM Review Energy Science & Technology, 2019 Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are one of the six Gen (IV) reactor designs chosen by the Generation IV International Forum for further development. A key area of concern for MSRs is the selection of molten salt composition. Parameters such as heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and viscosity are essential to consider when selecting a salt mixture for use
