Disruptive Thermal-Spectrum Molten Salt Breeder Reactor Fuel Cycle Technologies

Journal Article · · Nuclear Engineering and Design
Multiple, disruptive fuel salt processing technologies for thermal-spectrum molten salt breeder reactors (TS-MSBRs) have been conceived of and brought to laboratory levels of maturity since the termination of the historic U.S. government program. This paper describes these technologies and the role that they could serve in decreasing the remaining technical risks for TS-MSBR deployment. The focus of the paper is on describing how the technologies could integrate into a dramatically simpler, proliferation resistant fuel salt processing system as well as identifying remaining development hurdles.
