Abstract
In this study, a molten salt reactor model and a pressurized water reactor model were run in SCALE for comparison. The parameters of interest in the analysis were the concentrations of different nuclides in a molten salt reactor, specifically compared with concentrations of these same nuclides in a pressurized water reactor. This paper discusses this analysis, as well as discussing and comparing the burnup in both models. The results suggest that using a mechanistic source term for radionuclides instead of a bounding, conservative source term enables more realistic reactor modeling, making it a great option for licensing both advanced reactors and light-water reactors.
