| Abstract Scope |
An extensive thermochemical database, the Molten Salt Thermal Properties Database – Thermochemical (MSTDB-TC), has been developed and continues to be expanded to provide for computing detailed thermochemical states for salt and related systems for MSRs. The MSTDB-TC is designed for stand-alone use with equilibrium calculational software, notably FactSage, or with codes such as the open-source Thermochimica which can be coupled to reactor performance and other applications. In the current work, the use of the database in computing reactor states as a function of burnup and consideration of potential accident analysis such as the determination of key species vapor pressures have been explored. |
