Molten Salt Reactor Engineering Study for Off-Gas Management
Abstract
In previous work published by the current team, the waste processing and waste form options were summarized for molten salt reactors (MSR) (Riley et al., 2018b; Riley et al., 2019). The primary types of waste from an MSR are summarized in Figure S1 and include (1) off-gas streams, (2) salt waste streams, (3) separated salt streams, (4) metal waste streams, (5) carbon waste streams, (6) decommissioning and decontaminating (D&D) waste streams, and (7) operating waste streams, or those that are generated from maintenance procedures. The primary focus of this report will be on management of the off-gas stream as it represents the pressure boundary for fuel-salt MSRs and, thus, is required for fission product confinement during reactor operation and reduction of the source term during a reactor accident.
