| Abstract | Molten Salt Fast Reactors (MSFRs) have been the subject of periodic investigations since the early 1960s. MSFRs can be employed to extend fissile resource availability through uranium-plutonium and thorium-uranium breeding, and are highly flexible to be configured into modified open or full-recycle configuration. A single reactor core design may be capable of performing both fissile resource extension and waste disposition missions. The safety aspects of MSFRs are also innovative. So, in order to use the natural resources more efficiently while offering options for a better management of the nuclear waste, there is currently a renewed interest in MSFRs. In France, a conceptual design of reference MSFR with a fast neutron spectrum and based on the Thorium fuel cycle has been proposed. For improving and optimizing the design of the MSFR, in the present research, several different fluorides salts are chosen as fuel carrier salts to be evaluated. The evaluation scheme is based on the Scale5.1 code system. And the impact of different carrier salts on neutron spectrum and temperature reactivity coefficient has been evaluated in detail. The results indicate that the LiF-NaF-ThF4-UF4 (47.40-30.10-19.95-2.55) composition may be best in all recommended compositions. A significant amount of design work remains to be performed to develop a workable MSFR system, this work can provide a reference for choosing suitable fuel carrier salts in the design process of the MSFR in the future. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
