General interest in the deployment of molten salt reactors (MSRs) is growing, while the available data on uranium-containing fuel salt candidates remains scarce. Thermophysical data are one of the key parameters for reactor design and understanding reactor operability. Hence, filling in the gap of the missing data is crucial to allow for the advancement of MSRs. This study provides novel data for two eutectic compositions within the NaF-KF-UF4 ternary system which serve as potential fuel candidates for MSRs. Experimental measurements include their melting point, density, fusion enthalpy, and vapor pressure. Additionally, their boiling point was extrapolated from the vapor pressure data, which were, at the same time, used to determine the enthalpy of vaporization. The obtained thermodynamic values were compared with available data from the literature but also with results from thermochemical equilibrium calculations using the JRCMSD database, finding a good correlation, which thus contributed to database validation. Preliminary thoughts on fluoride salt reactor operability based on the obtained results are discussed in this study.

Fundamentals of Multicomponent High-Entropy Materials

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter discusses several aspects of the structure of multicomponent high-entropy materials: the fundamental thermodynamics of single-phase and multiphase multicomponent materials; the atomic and electronic structure of multicomponent single-phase solid solutions; and defects such as vacancies, dislocations and grain boundaries in multicomponent single-phase solid solutions, as well as their effect on fundamental properties such as atomic diffusion, twinning, plastic flow and recrystallisation. It concentrates on the available experimental evidence for the structure of the materials, supported where appropriate by the use of thermodynamic and atomistic computer modelling techniques.
