Abstract Molten Salt Reactors (MSR) with the fuel dissolved in the liquid salt and fluoride-salt-
cooled High-temperature Reactors (FHR) have many research themes in common. This …

Generation IV nuclear power plants (GEN IV NPPs) are supposed to become, in many
countries, an important source of base load power in the middle–long term (2030–2050) …

There is currently a renewed interest in molten salt reactors, due to recent conceptual
developments on fast neutron spectrum molten salt reactors (MSFRs) using fluoride salts. It …

The importance of pyrochemistry is being increasingly acknowledged and becomes
unavoidable in the nuclear field. Molten salts may be used for fuel processing and spent fuel …

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. It was first identified in the 1850s,
during the industrial revolution, when a new type of society had emerged with the invention …

Ionic solids and melts are compounds in which the interactions are dominated by
electrostatic effects. However, the polarization of the ions also plays an important role in …

The carbide formation and evolution of a new Ni-26W-6Cr (wt.%) superalloy for the 800° C
molten salt reactor (MSR) was investigated by homogenization heat treatment tests and the …

In this work, the Monte Carlo burn-up code SERPENT-2 has been extended and employed
to study the material isotopic evolution of the Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR). This …

Molten salts and molten salt mixtures (will be referred as molten salts for convenience) are
important heat storage media and heat transfer fluids for concentrated solar power plants …

The structure of the molten salt (LiF) 0.465 (NaF) 0.115 (KF) 0.42 (FLiNaK), a potential
coolant for molten salt nuclear reactors, has been studied by ab initio molecular dynamics …
