Molten-salt Reactors—history, Status, and Potential
Molten-salt breeder reactors (MSBR's) are being developed by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory for generating low-cost power while extending the nation's resources of fissionable fuel. The fluid fuel in these reactors, consisting of UF4 and ThF4 dissolved in fluorides of beryllium and lithium, is circulated through a reactor core moderated by graphite. Technology developments over the past 20 y...
متن کاملReactivity Oscillations in Molten Salt Reactors
The modification of the fuel composition in a molten salt reactor can cause the precipitation of fissile materials and thus the generation of fissile lumps moving within the system and introducing localized perturbations of multiplicativity. The problem of reactivity oscillations connected to this phenomenon in circulating fuel systems is addressed. The periodic behavior of such reactivity inse...
متن کاملPolarography in Molten Salts
TYPES OF MELTS From the practical viewpoint, melts may be classified according to melting points which may limit the available techniques. The lowest melting, with working temperatures up to 250°, are typified by the LiNO3—NaNO3— KNO3 eutectic, NaNO3—KNO3 eutectic, LiClO4, and ammonium formate. With these solvents it is possible to use the dropping mercury electrode, or hanging mercury drop ele...
متن کاملMolten Salts and Isotope Separation
The work on molten salts and isotope separation performed over the years at Université Pierre et Marie Curie and at Collège de France is critically reviewed. This research, closely related to A. Klemm’s pioneering contributions, leads among other things to the discovery of the effect now called the ‘Chemla effect’, after the late Professor Marius Chemla. These studies of ionic motions in melts,...
متن کاملMolten-salt Reactor Chemistry
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-BeFrZrFrUF4 fuel mixture and behavior of fission products during power operation of MSRE are presented. A discussion of the chemical reactions w...
