On-Site Speaker (Planned) Adam Burak
Abstract Scope Understanding molten salt and containment behavior under irradiation is a key consideration that needs to be addressed to bring Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) concepts to fruition. The Versatile Test Reactor (VTR) presents an opportunity to study the effects of fast neutron irradiation. A platform is being developed for the proposed VTR design which can record multiple real time data streams and collect salt samples, providing a rich source of information. Feasibility testing and development of the instrumentation for this platform are being performed using a stainless steel mockup. Chloride salts were received from collaborators at the University of Utah and used to test the functionality of the system. Several process parameters were recorded: pressure, redox potential, heater power, and temperature at several positions. Salt samples were collected, testing a differential pressure salt sampling concept, and then sent to collaborators at Virginia Commonwealth University to develop ex situ chemical analysis techniques.
