Physical Properties of Molten Reactor Fuels and Coolants

Implementation of Molten Salt Properties into RELAP5-3D/ATHENA

“…Transport properties are described in Section 2.4. Powers et al (1963), Cantor et al (1968), andCantor (1973) present correlations for the liquid density of the form…”

“…The experimental range for the other salts is not known. Estimates of uncertainty vary between 2% (Cantor et al 1968) and 5% (Powers et al 1963). Cantor et al (1968).…”

“…Cantor et al (1968) estimated an uncertainty of 3% for LiF-BeF 2 and 2% for NaBF 4 -NaF. Powers et al (1963) estimated an uncertainty of 10% for the other molten salts.…”

“…The uncertainty is estimated to be between 10% (Powers et al 1963) and 15% (Cantor et al 1968). The correlation for NaBF 4 -NaF was based on data taken between 682 and 810 K (Cantor 1973).…”

“…The correlation for NaBF 4 -NaF was based on data taken between 682 and 810 K (Cantor 1973). The correlation for LiF-NaF-KF applies between 773 and 1073 K (Powers 1963). The correlation for NaF-ZrF 4 applies between 873 and 1073 K (Powers 1963).…”
