Global sensitivity analysis using Gaussian process surrogate models & impact of thermophysical properties uncertainties on the steady-state operation of molten salt reactors
Measurement uncertainties in the thermophysical properties of molten salts affect the predicted steady-state operation of molten salt reactors (MSRs). We aim to quantify that impact using three MOOSE-based multiphysics models of MSRs: the molten-salt fast reactor (MSFR), the molten-salt reactor experiment (MSRE), and the molten-chloride reactor experiment (MCRE). For each model we perturb the fuel […]
