Contributor Konings, R.J.M. (promotor) Faculty Applied Sciences Department Radiation, Science and Technology Date 2016-02-01 Abstract The Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) is a promising future nuclear fission reactor technology with excellent performance in terms of safety and reliability, sustainability, proliferation resistance and economics. For the design and safety assessment of this concept, it is extremely important to have a thorough knowledge of the physico-chemical properties of molten fluorides salts, which are one of the best options for the reactor fuel. This dissertation presents the thermodynamic description of the most relevant systems for the Molten Salt Fast Reactor. A set of reference fuel options is provided and represents an important step forward in the advancing of the MSR technology.
