Implementation of Solar Salt as Fluid in ASYST4.1 and Validation for a Natural Circulation Loop
Abstract
Abstract
Various small modular reactor (SMR) designs such as Micro Modular Reactor (MMR), Stable Salt Reactor - Wasteburner (SSR-W) and the Natrium reactor utilize an intermediate molten salt loop for heat transport and thermal energy storage (TES). This technology is well proven for solar thermal plants and uses solar salt (NaNO3-KNO3 in 60:40 ratio by weight) as a heat transfer and heat storage material. The primary …
