Liquid Salt Applications and Molten Salt Reactors [PDF]

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.

Advanced gas-cooled reactors technology for enabling molten-salt reactors design – Optimisation of a new system [PDF]

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2021
Molten salts present significant advantages as coolants over traditional light water or gas. Salt-cooled nuclear reactor can potentially i allow an increase in core power density and simplify the reactor safety case.

Safety assessment of molten salt reactors in comparison with light water reactors [PDF]

Journal of Radiation Research and Applied Sciences, 2013
Molten salt reactors (MSRs) have a long history with the first design studies beginning in the 1950s at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Traditionally these reactors are thought of as thermal breeder reactors running on the thorium to 233U cycle

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Modelling Frozen Salt Films in a Molten Salt Fast Reactor

Volume 8: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD); Nuclear Education and Public Acceptance, 2018
Molten salt reactors are a very promising option for the development of highly innovative solutions for the nuclear energy production of the future. The techniques used to model thermal hydraulics of a molten salt fast reactor when frozen salt wall technology is applied to the core vessel wall are presented here for 2D numerical models of a hyperboloid
