Methodology for Source Term Analysis of a Molten Salt Reactor

Cost Efficient-by-Design Microreactors: Trade-offs between cost, technical, and regulatory factors

“…When comparing at 1 MWt, dose rates from solids are similar, except predicted iodine is much lower than reported for the MSR. Other than iodine, the radioisotope distribution is not reported in the MSR safety analysis but can be determined from other burnup analyses (Creasman 2020). Several other possibilities for the differences include:  Analysis model (gaussian plume) differences associated with Hotspot as compared to the MSR safety analysis.…”
