Submission deadlineNo deadline
Participants who wish to give presentations are requested to submit an extended abstract of their work on the following topics:
• Chloride and fluoride fuel salt preparation
- Cl-37 or Li-7 enrichment
- Conversion of source material to halides
- Impurities and their impact on salt chemical properties and behavior
- Process flowsheets and industrial-scale equipment for salt synthesis and purification
• Online and/or at-line processing
- System studies and conceptual flowsheets
- Development of separation processes
- Monitoring and control of salt composition, off-gas composition and treatment, redox potential
- Development of scalable technologies, specific devices and process equipment
- Waste forms and potential ways of conditioning
• Offline reprocessing of used fuel (on reactor site or centralized)
- System studies and conceptual flowsheets
- Development of separation processes
- Development of scalable technologies, specific devices and process equipment
- Waste forms and potential ways of conditioning
• Cross-cutting needs
- Computational and modelling of processes applicable to MSR fuel cycle technology (including fuel cycle modelling)
- Thermochemical data relevant to MSR fuel cycle processes (e.g., separation factors, and activity coefficients)
- Standardization
- Material compatibility (e.g., materials selection with regards to chemical processes and technologies, management of corrosion and fission products)
- Incorporating safeguards by design
The following topics are outside the scope of the workshop and will be considered as boundary conditions:
- Measurements methods, tools and techniques for determining thermo-physical properties of fresh and irradiated salts (fuel and coolant)
- Sources for irradiation
- Corrosion and material degradation mechanisms
- Waste management (e.g., repositories).
These topics are important, however, they are not germane to the objectives of this workshop and can be addressed in future activities.
The extended abstract should contain title, contributing author(s) names and affiliation, must be written in English, and provide sufficient information on the contents of the proposed presentation. The maximum length of the extended abstract should be 5 pages, including graphs, pictures and references. A template for the extended abstract is uploaded on this website.
The extended abstract will be reviewed as part of the selection process for presentations. Please upload your extended abstract as Word file.
