摘要
In the last two years it was discovered that solubility of PuF3, UF4 and AmF3 in the eutectics LiF-NaF-KF are unexpectedly high (30 mol %, 45 mol % and 43 mol % correspondingly at 700 degrees C). This result opens the way for the development of the molten salt fast reactor with U-Pu nuclear fuel cycle (UPu-MSFR). The first calculations of the critical UPu-MSFR and subcritical MSR-burner of Am are presented. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
