Abstract:The purpose of this report is to provide a review of thermophysical properties and thermochemical characteristics of candidate molten salt coolants, which may be used as a primary coolant within a nuclear reactor or heat transport medium from the Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) to a processing plant; for example, a hydrogen-production plant. Thermodynamic properties of four types of molten salts, including LiF-BeF 2 (67 and 33 mol%, respectively; also known as FLiBe), LiF-NaF-KF (46.5, 11.5, and 52 mol%, … Show more
“…Chromia-forming alloys, Fe-based and Ni-based, do not show corrosion resistance in molten chlorides. It has been reported that increasing Cr content in those alloys produced an increase in corrosion rates whereas changes in nickel content showed no effect [112].…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
