Determination of lattice physics properties and uncertainties in a solid fuel molten salt cooled assembly using OpenMC
Abstract
The desire for reducing our carbon footprint is driving significant interest in advanced nuclear reactors to produce energy. One promising technology is the Fluoride Salt-Cooled High-Temperature Reactor (FHR) which provides both electricity and high temperatures for use in process heat applications. The reactor technology considered in this work is a Generation IV design that uses TRISO particles uniformly embedded in fuel stripes within the …
