Molten-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...
متن کاملDensity of Molten Terbium Chloride
Anhydrous (99.99%) TbCl3 was obtained from Aldrich (Milwaukee, WI, USA) and used without further purifications. It was handled in an argon-filled dry box with a water content < 2 ppm and an oxygen content < 1 ppm. A 166Ho radiation source (2.27 MBq) was used because of its desirable decay characteristics (t1/2 = 1200y, up to 8 photons per disintegration, more than 10% branching ratio). A multi-...
متن کاملMolten uranium dioxide structure and dynamics.
Uranium dioxide (UO2) is the major nuclear fuel component of fission power reactors. A key concern during severe accidents is the melting and leakage of radioactive UO2 as it corrodes through its zirconium cladding and steel containment. Yet, the very high temperatures (>3140 kelvin) and chemical reactivity of molten UO2 have prevented structural studies. In this work, we combine laser heating,...
متن کاملAnalysis of Unit Process Cost for an Engineering-Scale Pyroprocess Facility Using a Process Costing Method in Korea
Pyroprocessing, which is a dry recycling method, converts spent nuclear fuel into U (Uranium)/TRU (TRansUranium) metal ingots in a high-temperature molten salt phase. This paper provides the unit process cost of a pyroprocess facility that can process up to 10 tons of pyroprocessing product per year by utilizing the process costing method. Toward this end, the pyroprocess was classified into fo...
متن کاملLOW TEMPERATURE MOLTEN SALT SYNTHESIS OF NANO CRYSTALLINE MgAl2O4 POWDER
Abstract: composition of MgO and nano boehmite. The reactant and potassium chloride, as the reaction media, were fired at800-1000 °C at different dwell times (0.5-5 h) in the ambient atmosphere. After washing and filtration, the spinel nanopowder was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) techniques. It was demonstrated tha...
