Progress in experimental development of MSR fuel cycle technology

Original language description

The paper describes the existing and present activities in the area of R&D of fresh thorium – uranium liquid fuel processing, experimental studies of electrochemical separation applicable for on-line reprocessing and the theoretical studies of the mutual link between the MSR reactor physics and chemical reprocessing technology. First part describes the preparation of UF4 and ThF4 by the hydrofluorination of uranium and thorium dioxides and final preparation of liquid MSR fuel for the experimental neutronics and irradiation tests done in the research reactors LR-0 and LVR-15. Second part is devoted to the investigation and studies of the electrochemical separation processes in fluoride media suitable for utilization within the MSR on-line reprocessing technology. Final part is focused on the evaluation of the technologies discussed above and on the mutual link between the MSR physics and the reprocessing technology to reach the optimized removal of neutronic poisons and maximal breeding of new fissile material. A conceptual design of the on-line reprocessing technology of the MSR – thorium breeder system and the non-proliferation aspects are discussed as well.
