Corrosion of Candidate Materials in Molten FLiBe Salt for Fluoride-Salt-Cooled High-Temperature Reactor (FHR)

Journal Article Cao, Guoping ; Sridharan, Kumar ; Zheng, Guiqiu - Transactions of the American Nuclear Society

Molten fluoride salts have attracted considerable attention because of their desirable thermophysical properties that lead to superior heat transfer. Recently, fluoride salts are being considered as coolants in the fluoride salt-cooled high temperature reactors (FHRs). The successes of the molten salt reactor experiment (MSRE) program in 1950's-70's at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has also driven the pursuit of molten salt nuclear reactor as one of the lead next generation nuclear reactor concepts. Unlike MSRE where the uranium fuel was dissolved in the molten fluoride salt, the FHR concept is expected to use molten salt (2LiF-BeF{sub 2}, FLiBe) only asmore »« less

MIT reactor (MITR) driven subcritical facility for the fluoride-salt-cooled high-temperature reactor (FHR) - 18623

Conference Sun, Kaichao ; Hu, Lin-wen ; Forsberg, Charles

The Fluoride-salt-cooled High temperature Reactor (FHR) uses clean salt coolants, carbon-matrix coated-particle fuel similar to that used in High-temperature Gas-cooled Reactors (HTGRs) and can be coupled to a Nuclear Air-Brayton Combined Cycle (NACC). Recent assessments indicate favorable economics and safety characteristics, but no FHR has been built. The question is what experimental facilities should be constructed to reduce technical uncertainties before a decision to build a test/demonstration reactor? The MIT Reactor (MITR) design and license would allow the construction and operation of a subcritical facility with 700 deg. C salt circulating through multiple full-width partial-height fuel assemblies operating with amore »« less

Fluoride-Salt-Cooled High-Temperature Reactor (FHR) with Silicon-Carbide-Matrix Coated-Particle Fuel

Conference Forsberg, C. W. ; Terrani, Kurt A ; Snead, Lance Lewis ; ...

The FHR is a new reactor concept that uses coated-particle fuel and a low-pressure liquid-salt coolant. Its neutronics are similar to a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR). The power density is 5 to 10 times higher because of the superior cooling properties of liquids versus gases. The leading candidate coolant salt is a mixture of {sup 7}LiF and BeF{sub 2} (FLiBe) possessing a boiling point above 1300 C and the figure of merit {rho}C{sub p} (volumetric heat capacity) for the salt slightly superior to water. Studies are underway to define a near-term base-line concept while understanding longer-term options. Near-term options usemore »« less
