Prototype Demonstration of an Integration of a Gibbs Energy Minimizer with TRANSFORM for Molten Salt Reactor Mass Accountancy Studies

Mass accountancy in a molten salt reactor (MSR) system is the ability to track and quantify the radioactive species throughout all portions of the reactor, not just the core. This is critical for the design, analysis, and regulation of these novel reactors. This report discusses a chemistry-based approach for understanding the chemical state, physical characteristics, and time-dependent location of a species throughout an MSR system. This report does not represent a completed capability; rather, it indicates that specific activities are needed (i.e., chemistry coupling and benchmark creation) and require sustained support to enable MSR development and deployment.
