Multiphysics Modelling of the Molten Salt Fast Reactor using NekRS and the Fission Matrix Method
Maximiliano Dalinger, Elia Merzari, Saya Lee
The Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR) has the particularity that the coolant is also the fuel, which tightens the coupling between neutronics and thermal hydraulics as the fuel circu…

High-Fidelity Modelling of the Molten Salt Fast Reactor
Maximiliano Dalinger, Elia Merzari, Saya Lee +1
The Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR) is one of the six GEN-IV reactor designs. In the MSFR, the liquid fuel is the coolant, which moves throughout the primary circuit. This complex…
