| Summary: | Nuclear power plays an important role in addressing climate change and in enabling
energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable powers. The development of
nuclear reactor has come up to the utilization of molten salts, either as coolant and
even as part of reactor fuel mixture. The purpose of this research is to study the salt
chemical and the melting behavior of a relevant Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) fuel
system, which is LiF-NaF-KF-UF4 system through thermodynamic simulation.
This study began with the construction of LiF-NaF-KF-UF4 system thermodynamic
database. Literature study was carried out to collect thermodynamic data obtained
from previous experiments. Thermodynamic parameters for pure compounds and
molten salt solutions from previous assessments were used as a starting point. These
parameters were further improved by performing error minimization to obtain a
better model that acceptably fit all previous experimental data.
The obtained model generates calculated thermodynamic properties and phase
diagrams that are acceptably within the distribution of available experimental data.
Through thermodynamic simulation using the constructed thermodynamic
database, a suitable composition of salt mixture as a MSR fuel candidate has been
identified in this study. |
