The objective of this project was to convert spent nuclear fuel into molten-chloride-salt fuel and was intended to demonstrate the streamlined development of fuel salt manufacturing from spent nuclear fuel.
The objective of this project was to develop a computational capability for predicting radionuclide release from a broad spectrum of accidents that can be postulated to occur at liquid-metal-cooled reactor (LMR) facilities.
The objective of this project was to develop a simple system that allows control of a plant simulator from a workstation. Called the Task Engine for Job and User Notification (TEJUN, also the Japanese word for “procedure”), the system is a web-based application that allows procedures to be authored in an easy-to-read document format.
Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Idaho National Laboratory (INL), and Kairos Power, LLC partnered to implement a multiscale thermal-fluids hierarchy analysis methodology for Kairos’ fluoride high-temperature reactor (FHR). The project demonstrated Kairos Power’s design optimization process for the heat exchanger, a vital component of the reactor’s design.
The objective of this project was to determine the design feasibility of Micro Nuclear LLC’s Molten Salt Nuclear Battery (MsNB) by performing computational analysis and discussing the likely multiphysics modeling challenges while coupling thermal hydraulics and neutronics.
