Economics and finance of Molten Salt Reactors
, 2020 There is a long-standing and growing interest in Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) mainly because of their potential advantages in terms of safety, sustainable fuel cycle, and the high melting and boiling points of salt which allow operations at high ...

Lanthanides extraction processes in molten fluoride media. Application to nuclear spent fuel reprocessing [PDF]
, 2009 This paper describes four techniques of extraction of lanthanides elements (Ln) from molten salts in the general frame of reprocessing nuclear wastes; One of them is chemical: the precipitation of Ln ions in insoluble compounds (oxides or oxifluorides);

Sensitivity-Analysis-Driven Surrogate Model for Molten Salt Reactors Control
Journal of Nuclear Engineering, 2022 The numerical analysis for the controllability assessment of a new design nuclear reactor is typically carried out by means of complex multiphysics codes, solving high fidelity partial differential equations governing the system neutronics as well as the

Electrochemical extraction of europium from molten fluoride media [PDF]
, 2009 This work concerns the extraction of europium from molten fluoride media. Two electrochemical ways have been examined: (i) the use of a reactive cathode made of copper and (ii) the co-deposition with aluminium on inert electrode, leading to the formation

Protection of graphite from salt and gas permeation in molten salt reactors
, 2020 The reactor core, moderator and reflectors of a thermal spectrum advanced molten salt reactor will constitute multi-tons of graphite. Porous reactor-grade graphite, if unprotected, can be permeated by molten salt depending on the infiltrating pressure ...
