Abstract

A concept of a multi-component nuclear power system will be presented in whic thermal and fast reactors combined with molten-salt burner reactors could be used for incineration of weapons-grade plutonium, some minor actinides, and transmutation of some fission products. The purposes of this work are to review the present status of molten-salt reactor technology and innovative non-aqueous chemical processing methods, to indicate the importance of the uncertainties remaining, to identify the additional work needed, and to evaluate the probability of success in obtaining improved safety characteristics for the new concept of molten-salt burner reactor with external neutron source.
