Irradiation of an Enriched Uranium (NaCl-UCl3) Fuel Salt Capsule, Summary of Nondestructive Post Irradiation Examinations, and Solidification Modeling
Molten salt reactors (MSRs) are gaining attention due to their potential for safe, carbon-free nuclear energy with reduced waste. However, licensing these reactors is hindered by limited experimental data on fueled salts, both pre- and post-irradiation. The novel Molten-salt Research Temperature-controlled Irradiation (MRTI) vehicle was designed to address knowledge gaps in irradiating enriched-uranium-bearing salts. The […]
