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.
The objective of this project was to exact high quality, traceable data that quantifies composition dependencies and measurement uncertainty to inform operating conditions, which is paramount for proper design in any reactor, especially a liquid-fueled molten salt reactor.
