Initiating Event Analysis of a Lithium Fluoride Thorium Reactor
… Analysis for a Lithium Fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR) as the first step of a Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA). The major objective of the research is to compile a list of key initiating events capable of resulting in failure of safety systems and release of radioactive material from the …

Impact of thorium based molten salt reactor on the closure of the nuclear fuel cycle
… (GIF). The liquid fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR) is a MSR concept based on thorium fuel cycle. LFTR uses liquid fluoride salts as a nuclear fuel. It uses <sup>232</sup>Th and <sup>233</sup>U as the fertile and fissile materials, respectively. Fluoride salt of these nuclides is dissolved in a …

Fail-safe source-driven fission and fusion-fission hybrid reactor configurations
A source-driven nuclear reactor configuration with a unity infinite medium multiplication factor fission core (1k), is investigated for both fission and fusion-fission hybrid systems. Suchaconfiguration is thought to offer adesirable fail-safe reactor alternative in that the loss of the fission …

Does thorium have a place in the future U.S. electricity mix?
<p>Thorium is an alternative fuel source for nuclear energy. Coupled with its use in a new reactor design, called a Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor, the two have the ability to disrupt the nuclear industry and power sector. Nuclear energy is a clean and reliable source of energy; however, it …
