TMS 2023 - Methodology and Density of PuCl3-NaCl Mixtures

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1986433
The development of molten salt reactors and their associated components demands reliable and accurate thermophysical property data for design and validation. A candidate fuel salt, PuCl3-NaCl (36 mol% PuCl3) has been synthesized and studied at the Idaho National Laboratory. This study has determined the density of PuCl3-NaCl at multiple compositions and temperatures, providing data for validation of modeling efforts and making improvements on the buoyancy method for density measurements of actinide-bearing molten salts.
