Reconsideration of Inherent Neutron Sources in Liquid Fuel of Molten Salt Reactors
… alpha-n and gamma-n reactions in molten fluoride fuel salts using current gamma-n and alpha-n cross-sections and codes where possible. Original inherent neutron source was calculated for Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) in 1959 using then-determined alpha-n cross-sections and an estimate for …

Molecular dynamics simulation and topological analysis of the network structure of actinide-bearing materials
… both the front end and back end of the nuclear fuel cycle: light water reactor (LWR) spent fuel stored in a crystalline ceramic medium (zircon), LWR spent fuel stored in a glassy medium (alkali borosilicate glass), and three molten salt systems (LiF-BeF2, LiF-ThF4 , and LiF-UF4). I model these …

Studies on Molten Salt Fuels: Properties, Purification, and Materials Degradation
… many advantages of MSRs, properties of molten salts have not been sufficiently measured in previous studies. In addition, the corrosion of structural alloys by molten salt is the biggest challenge for the operation of MSRs. This study focuses on measurements of thermophysical and thermodynamic …
