Establishment of a room temperature molten salt capability to measure fundamental thermodynamic properties of actinide elements

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/348877· OSTI ID:348877

This is the final report of a six-month, Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The goal of this work was to establish a capability for the measurement of fundamental thermodynamic properties of actinide elements in room temperature molten salts. This capability will be used to study in detail the actinide chloro- and oxo-coordination chemistries that dominate in the chloride-based molten salt media. Uranium will be the first actinide element under investigation.
