The Sources and Control of Tritium in Molten Salt Reactor

Abstract:

The fuel salt of molten salt reactor is comprised of LiF-BeF₂-ThF₄-UF4, which can produce more tritium than PWR. Since tritium is an important radioactive nuclide, and it would cause great damage to the reactor, the process to control tritium from fuel salt is a key point in the operation of molten salt reactor. In this article, the source and control of gaseous tritium is mainly discussed.
