Dynamic System Models for Informing Licensing and Safeguards Investigations of Molten Salt Reactors
- Oak Ridge National Lab. (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
Fluid-fueled molten salt nuclear reactors (MSRs) have recently gained significant interest. As with all reactors, modeling and simulation are key factors for advanced reactor design and licensing and will be required for the deployment of MSRs. However, there are significant gaps between simulation capabilities and system behavior for MSRs. This paper presents a system model of an MSR based on the Molten Salt Demonstration Reactor. The model includes important physics specific to MSRs, such as fission product and tritium transport, as well as reactivity feedback.
