Flow measurement in high-temperature liquid metals and molten salts: principles, recent advances, and deployment challenges [PDF]

Frontiers in Chemistry
Next-generation energy systems—including sodium- and lead-cooled fast reactors, molten salt reactors, concentrating solar power, and fusion breeding blankets—rely on high-temperature liquid metals and molten salts operating at approximately 400 °C–700 °C,

Applications of Thermochemical Modeling in Molten Salt Reactors [PDF]

Materials
The extensively evaluated and consistent thermodynamic database, the Molten Salt Thermal Properties Database—Thermochemical (MSTDB-TC), was used along with additional thermodynamic values from other sources as examples of ways to examine molten salt reactor (MSR) fuel behavior.

Exploring the safety and performance of molten salt reactors for their deployment in the European Union: the MIMOSA and ENDURANCE projects [PDF]

EPJ Nuclear Sciences & Technologies
Molten Salt Reactors (MSR) are Generation IV nuclear systems in which the fuel is dissolved in a molten salt circulating through the primary system. There is growing interest in this advanced technology in Europe, but also in the US, China, South Korea ...

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 ...

Thorium Energy Futures [PDF]

, 2012
The potential for thorium as an alternative or supplement to uranium in fission power generation has long been recognised, and several reactors, of various types, have already operated using thorium-based fuels.

Modelling of Tritium Breeding in Molten Salt Reactors [PDF]

, 2023
Nuclear fusion is considered a clean energy source: it emits no CO2 and leaves little radioactive waste. It is important to start paving the path toward nuclear fusion whilst simultaneously moving away from fossil fuels and carbon emissions.

Viscosity of fluoride melts promising for molten salt nuclear reactors [PDF]

, 2023
The viscosity of molten salt, as an important hydrodynamic property, should be taken into account when creating and operating molten salt nuclear reactors (MSRs). An eutectic FLiNaK is considered to be one of the most suitable for use in MSR designed for
