COUPLED GRIFFIN AND PRONGHORN SIMULATION OF THE MOLTEN SALT FAST REACTOR (MSFR) FOR THE VIRTUAL TEST BED

Conference ·
OSTI ID:2555751
The Virtual Test Bed (VTB) repository hosts a wide range of challenge problems to showcase modeling and simulation capabilities to support advanced reactor demonstration. An overview of a coupled multiphysics model for Molten Salt Reactors (MSR) is presented here. The analysis leverages MOOSE-based tools (notably Griffin and Pronghorn) for neutronic and thermal hydraulic simulation. Neutron precursor drifting capability is showcased, along with some initial turbulence models. Both steady-state and transient coupled multiphysics results for an MSR concept are discussed.
