Validated against historical data from the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE), the model reproduces power-to-reactivity frequency responses at both zero power and operating conditions (up to 8 ...

There have been some intriguing stories lately about a different kind of reactor – one cooled by molten salt instead of the more typical water-cooled designs comprising the great majority of the world ...

Molten salt nuclear reactors (MSR) also have unique passive methods of preventing nuclear disasters. Some plants are equipped with what's known as a "freeze plug" in the reactor chamber.

Since chromium is stable as both Cr 3+ and Cr 2+ in most molten salts, "it is essential to understand how Cr 3+ and Cr 2+ react chemically with species produced in the radiation field of a reactor ...

UPTON, N.Y. — High temperatures and ionizing radiation create extremely corrosive environments inside a nuclear reactor. To design long-lasting reactors, scientists must understand how radiation ...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...

1. Introduction Molten salts solvents have been proposed as fuel and coolant for next-generation molten salt reactor concepts. They are able to reduce the amount of spent nuclear fuel produced during ...
