CX-270400: Methods to Predict Thermal Radiation and to Design Scaled Separate and Integral Effects Testing for Molten Salt Reactors – University of California, Berkeley

The University of California, Berkeley, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, proposes to perform experiments with molten salts, to measure molten salt IR absorption properties, quantify radiation heat transfer (RHT) for key molten salt cooled (FHR) and fueled (MSR) reactor geometries and operating conditions, and develop and test a rigorous scaling methodology for the design of separate effect test (SET) and integral effect test (IET) experiments.
