Feasibility Study Of A Two-Fluid Small Modular Molten Salt Reactor With In Core Heat Removal Capability, Brandon James Lahmann

Masters Theses

"A feasibility study of a two-fluid small modular molten salt reactor (MSR) with in core heat removal was performed. The initial fuel block dimension for the configuration was based on the Fuji MSR. The fuel was a mixed fluoride salt of density 3.25 g/cc, composed of 71 LiF - 16 BeF2 - 12 ThF4- 1 233UF4 molar percentages. The coolant salt was Li4(FLiBe) of density 1.94 g/cc. The work set out to establish whether or not such a reactor is thermodynamically feasible when optimized for various neutronics parameters. A Java based API was …
