Abstract:Molten salt systems are under consideration for both energy generation and used fuel processing as part of the nuclear fuel cycle. Generation IV nuclear reactor designs use molten salts as both coolants and fuel media. Advanced reprocessing technologies, such as the pyrochemical reprocessing of used nuclear fuel, rely on molten chloride melts as the electrolyte during electrochemical processing of used nuclear fuel. Before any of these technologies can reach the industrial scale, techniques for the monitoring … Show more
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.
