“…Recently, ORNL hosted a workshop with the goal of identifying initiating events (IE) for radioactive releases as precursors to licensing basis events (LBE) for salt-fueled MSRs [57]. They noted 140 different IEs that warranted further investigation.…”

“…In 2019, ORNL held a workshop for MSR design and research organizations to identify the potential licensing basis events: anticipated operational occurrences (AOOs), design basis events (DBEs), and beyond design basis events (BDBEs) [64]. In many cases, the issues identified in the workshop can be resolved by the design teams using state-of-the-art, adequately validated calculational tools.…”

“…Of the identified LBEs, breaches of the primary fuel salt piping and drain tank would result in the release of radionuclides into the reactor containment cell and represent LBEs that are qualitatively estimated to be DBEs and BDBEs, respectively [126]. The conditions at the time of a breach are important as unique conditions-such as reactor containment cell open or not properly inertedcould result in high consequences.…”

“…), could result in an event of varying severity and consequence dependent on the size and location of the breach. Although event frequency is dependent on the MSR design (loop, integral/pool type, modular), the consensus among the ORNL MSR LBE workshop participants is that this LBE can probably be classified as a design DBE or lower [126]. For many MSR designs and most locations of potential boundary breaches, the salt will release into a reactor containment cell designed with this scenario in mind.…”
