Fluoride Salt-Cooled High-Temperature Reactors (FHRs) are a promising new class of thermal-spectrum nuclear reactors. The reactor structural materials must possess high-temperature strength and chemical compatibility with the liquid fluoride salt as well power cycle fluid such supercritical water while remaining resistant to residual air within containment. Alloy N was developed for use salts it possesses adequate up about 700°C. A distinctive property FHRs is that their maximum allowable...

Liquid-fueled, thermal-spectrum molten salt breeder reactors (TS-MSBRs) offer the potential for affordable, safe, inexhaustible energy with minimal nuclear material misuse and without significant actinide waste generation. Realizing full set of TS-MSBR capabilities is only now becoming possible advent advanced fuel-salt processing techniques, improved materials, a more detailed understanding properties. Additionally, modern higher-fidelity modeling simulation methods enable evaluation design...

The two-modulator generalized ellipsometer has been used to measure samples in transmission. In this configuration, the instrument can completely characterize a linear diattenuator and retarder, measuring birefringence, diattenuation, angle of principal axis, sample depolarization simultaneously accurately. This be operated two modes: (1) spectroscopic, which measurements are made through entire aperture as function wavelength, (2) spatially resolved, at single wavelength birefringence...
