Progress in Development of Li,Be,Na/F Molten Salt Actinide Recycler & Transmuter Concept

Abstract

To examine and demonstrate the feasibility of molten salt reactors to reduce long lived waste toxicity and to produce efficiently electricity in closed fuel cycle some national and international studies were initiated last years. In this paper main focus is placed on experimental and theoretical evaluation of single stream MOlten Salt Actinide Recycler & Transmuter (MOSART) system fuelled with compositions of plutonium plus minor actinide trifluorides (AnF3) from PWR spent fuel without U-Th support. The paper summarizes the most current status of the MOSART design data received within ISTC#1606 phase 2.
