New Czech R&D Program on Fluoride Salt-cooled Nuclear Reactor Systems

Original language description

A technology of nuclear reactor systems with liquid molten salt fuel has been investigated in the Czech Republic since 1999. The original effort came from the national Partitioning and Transmutation concept based on the subcritical Accelerator Driven System for incineration of transuranium elements with liquid fluoride fuel and pyrochemical partitioning fuel cycle technology. After 2005, the original R&D intentions were gradually converted to classical Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) technology and to thorium – uranium fuel cycle. The aim of this choice was to contribute to the development of an advanced nuclear technology, which can minimize environmental impact of nuclear power, save the natural resources and which has some potential to be deployed also in a non-superpower country. The basic technological development of selected areas of MSR and Th – U fuel cycle technology was realized in the frame of the SPHINX project solved in 2005 – 2012.1,2 In addition to the domestic activities of the MSR technology development, in 2012 the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade and the US – Department of Energy concluded an agreement about the collaborative R&D on Molten Salt Reactor and Fluoride-salt-cooled High-temperature Reactor (FHR) technologies. These facts and results created the principal background for the present national program on the MSR/FHR technology development which was approved by the Ministry of Industry and Trade in 2016 and is granted by the Technological Agency of the Czech Republic.
