A Paradigm Shift in Reactor Safety with the Molten Salt Fast Reactor (SAMOFAR)

Date du début: 1 août 2015, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2019,

Imagine an inherently safe reactor that produces all electricity world-wide for thousands of years, and recycles all actinides until fission.The Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR) can reach this goal. The cylindrical reactor core contains actinide-fluorides mixed in lithium-fluoride. The liquid salt is at ambient pressure and can freely expand upon heating, giving a strong negative reactivity feedbac ...
