Th-U Breeding Performances in an Optimized Molten Chloride Salt Fast Reactor

Abstract: The molten chloride salt fast reactor (MCFR) with Th-U fuel cycle is attracting more and more attention because of its excellent performance, such as high solubility of actinides, superior breeding capacity, low waste production, and high inherent safety. First of all, the breeding capability of an MCFR at equilibrium state was optimized by an in-house automated optimization program. Based on an optimized MCFR, an investigation of Th-U cycle performance was performed. Due to the lack of available 233 U in natu… Show more

“…[14][15][16] Transient simulations of LFMSRs using those multiphysics tools have been focused on the core domain only to assess whether such a design meets the safety criteria from maximum temperature of the fuel salt. 8,17 Recent LFMSR designs targeting near-term deployment adopt chloride-based salt because of its advantages in the economic utilization of the fissile materials 18 and cost-effective fuel fabrication using techniques like pyroprocessing. 8 Molten chloride salts are known to corrode metal alloys at elevated temperatures, 19 and flow and thermal conditions must be evaluated for structural longevity calculations in commercial applications.…”
