GEN IV WEBINAR – 8:30 am EDT July 26, 2023 Many molten salt reactor designs involve the circulation of a cover gas to remove evolved fission products and maintain an inert atmosphere. The cover gas leaving the reactor core is expected to contain noble and non-noble gases, aerosols, volatile species, tritium, and other radionuclides. To
The objective of this project is to understand heat transfer for the novel molten fuel salt pin in a molten salt core concept. Heat transfer due to natural convection driven flow is a very complex phenomenon owing to the range of active length scales.
