Molten Salt Reactor

  • Safe
  • Clean
  • Efficient
  • Multi-functional
  • Scalable
  • Carbon-free
  • Reliable 4

The MSRR is itself an experiment Included experiments:

  • Corrosion coupons
  • Salt sampling
  • Fuel salt chemistry
  • Bubbling system
  • Off-gas cleanup Experimental Systems 5

Experiments Off Gas Handling Drain Tank Pump Fuel Receiving Fuel Purification Concrete Radiator MSRR Reactor Layout 6

Recommended Method in ORNL Report*

Material balance of inputs and outputs to the reactor Most similar to existing LWR MC&A approaches May have large inventory difference Performance based approach MC&A of Liquid Fuel
