MOLTEN-SALT CONVERTER REACTORS
Annals of Nuclear Energy, 1975Abstract 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

To obtain an outstanding neutron economy and Th-U (Thorium-Uranium) breeding performance, a quite high 7Li enrichment up to 99.995% is generally required for the designs of molten salt reactors with FLiBe carrier salt.

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 ...

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, 2007In 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, 2013The 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 ...

Impact of the volume heat source on the RANS-based CFD analysis of Molten Salt Reactors
, 2019Several efforts have been spent in recent years to address the simulation challenges posed by the non-conventional design of Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs). One of the design specificities of MSRs is the volume heat source in the liquid fuel, which has been
