Title: Hybrid Molten Salt Reactor (HMSR) System Study

Conference · · ANS Transactions
OSTI ID:1172629

Can the hybrid system combination of (1) a critical fission Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) having a thermal spectrum and a high Conversion Ratio (CR) with (2) an external source of high energy neutrons provide an attractive solution to the world's expanding demand for energy? The present study indicates the answer is an emphatic yes.
