Transcript of Molten Salt Reactor
MSR Characteristics
Fuel: Dissolved in fluoride salt Uranium/Thorium Fluoride
Fuel may be dissolved in coolant. Graphite Moderator. 700°C outlet temperature. Negative temperature coefficient reactivity. 1000 MWe. Low pressure (<0.5 MPa).
Benefits
Efficient heat removal from core. Less pumping and piping so Core size reduced. Proliferation resistance inventory through low
fissile material. Waste minimization and efficient use of uranium
resources. Low pressure safety improved.
