Abstract

The ANSYS software package is used to simulate a functioning electrolyzer for the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel via electrolysis in LiCl molten salt with the addition of Li2O. The seven considered types of electrolyzer design differ in their mutual arrangement of electrodes and anode thickness. The temperature field, as well as distributions of the current density and electric potential, are calculated. The optimal electrolyzer design is determined in order to achieve the best temperature and electrical characteristics.
