The objective of this project is to determine the density of actinidemolten salt solutions using neutron dilatometry.
The objective of this project is to assess the RELAP5- 3D code for application to the MSRR design and licensing pathway to resolve data limitations for both the input models for the plant design and models specific to the liquid fuel molten salt core.
The objective of this project is to use Large Eddy Simulations (LES) to produce numerical benchmark data that captures local velocity and temperature effects, and this data will have an immediate impact to accelerate technology development, enable economic optimization, and reduce regulatory uncertainty.
Neutroelectric and Oak Ridge National Laboratory will perform critical combined tests at the High Flux Isotope Reactor in support of qualification of this new material, NE-300, for use in commercial nuclear reactor applications.
This project will leverage Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s experience with high-temperature ultrasound to demonstrate feasibility for OLSHM of the Hydromine lead-cooled reactor heat exchanger for cracks and corrosion.
