Molten Salt Reactors is a comprehensive reference on the status of
molten salt reactor (MSR) research and thorium fuel utilization.
There is growing awareness that nuclear energy is needed to
complement intermittent energy sources and to avoid pollution from
fossil fuels. Light water reactors are complex, expensive, and
vulnerable to core melt, steam explosions, and hydrogen explosions,
so better technology is needed. MSRs could operate safely at nearly
atmospheric pressure and high temperature, yielding efficient
electrical power generation, desalination, actinide incineration,
hydrogen production, and other industrial heat applications.
Coverage includes: Motivation -- why are we interested? Technical
issues - reactor physics, thermal hydraulics, materials,
environment, ... Generic designs -- thermal, fast, solid fuel,
liquid fuel, ... Specific designs - aimed at electrical power,
actinide incineration, thorium utilization, ... Worldwide
activities in 23 countries Conclusions This book is a collaboration
of 58 authors from 23 countries, written in cooperation with the
International Thorium Molten Salt Forum. It can serve as a
reference for engineers and scientists, and it can be used as a
textbook for graduate students and advanced undergrads. Molten Salt
Reactors is the only complete review of the technology currently
available, making this an essential text for anyone reviewing the
use of MSRs and thorium fuel, including students, nuclear
researchers, industrial engineers, and policy makers.
