Influence of thermal neutron scattering effect of FLiBe molten salt on neutronic performance of molten salt reactors

open access: yesHe jishu, 2023
BackgroundFLiBe is commonly used as the coolant and carrier salt in liquid molten salt reactors (MSRs). Its certain moderating properties and thermal neutron scattering attributes affect the neutronic performance of the MSR, and this in turn influences ...
