LEU+ UF6 Physical Chemistry Study, Orano Federal Services

Previous studies for UF6 limits in shipping containers were limited to enrichment up to 5%. The objectives of this new study will take that enrichment to 10%. The project will review the available literature and update these studies with current techniques, evaluate the impact of higher enrichments in safety criticality cases in transport conditions, and publish a report that will serve as the basis to the safety criticality analysis that will be provided for review and approval to the radioactive material transport regulators, for the DN-30 package with 30B cylinders containing enrichment higher than 5%.

Advanced Functional Membrane Testing for Noble Gas Management in a Molten Salt Reactor, Exodys Energy (Elysium)

The objective of this project is to evaluate a metalorganic framework (MOF) for continuous separation of Xe and Kr from the off-gas in the FCMSR in order to optimize the noble gas management of the FC-MSR and chemical processes for fuel salt production and conditioning and support the safety and licensing bases.

Characterization of the Radiation Stability of Molten Nitrate/Nitrite Salts for use as Heat Transfer Fluids in Nuclear Reactor Power Plants, Yellowstone Energy

The objective of this project is to complete the necessary irradiation testing required and accelerate the retirement of risk related to qualification of nuclear environment nitrate salts. It is expected that the results of this project will significantly advance the MNSR design by qualifying the radiation stability of nitrate salt coolants in a nuclear environment.

Advancement of Instrumentation to Monitor IMSR® Core Temperature and Power Level, Terrestrial Energy USA

The objective of this project is to develop Terrestrial Energy USA’s high temperature gamma thermometer (HTGT) that will accurately determine IMSR® power levels under all normal and off-normal reactor operating conditions. The HTGT will ensure safe and effective control of IMSR® reactor-core power and will be applicable to other MSR designs.
