Abstract:The Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) possesses unique characteristics, including the circulation of liquid fuel salt in-core and ex-core, and the absence of cladding tubes of fuel rods. To perform safety analyses for accidents and transients, the selection of appropriate models is crucial. Proposed models vary from the coupling of a three-dimensional (3-D) nuclear reactor model and a detailed thermal/hydraulic (T/H) model to a simple point reactor model coupled with a lumped parameter model of the T/H system. The aut… Show more
