Abstract

The solubility of Th, U, Ce, La, and Pr in melted salt 45LiF–12NaF–43KF, which supports a fast neutron spectrum for the molten-salt reactor, is found experimentally to be high in the interval 550–700°C. On the basis of an analysis of the physicochemical and nuclear-physical properties of different fluoride salts, it is proposed that the eutectic 46.5LiF–11.5NaF–42KF be used as the fuel salt for a molten-salt fast reactor with a uranium-plutonium fuel cycle.
