High-temperature properties of molten salts and their dynamical interactions with neutrons
Abstract: Molten salt reactors (MSRs) are a Gen-IV international forum concept. However, with sparse experimental data, their development is contingent on modelling and simulation methodologies with which to predict the high-temperature properties of molten salts and their dynamical interactions with neutrons. Recently AD and ML developed a multi-scale method for predicting, with unprecedented accuracy, the differential neutron scattering cross-section of molten salts. The method was applied to the prototypal salt sodium chloride, and we are here seeking beam-time to validate the results, fine-tune the methodology, and enable the extension of the approach to molten-salt mixtures relevant to MSRs.
