熔盐反应堆(MSR)和氟盐冷却高温反应堆(FHR)有许多共同的研究主题。本文概述了在第四代反应堆框架内开展的这些反应堆类型的国际研究开发工作。世界上许多国家都为这项反应堆技术做出了贡献，其中包括欧盟、法国、日本、俄罗斯和美国，在过去的几年里，中国和印度也做出了贡献。总的来说，国际上的研发主要集中在三条主线上。美国关注的是FHR，这将是液态盐作为反应堆冷却剂的近期应用，而中国也关注固体燃料反应堆，作为带有液体燃料和热中子能谱的熔盐反应堆的前身。欧盟、法国和俄罗斯正致力于开发一种快速光谱熔盐反应堆，该反应堆能够从乏核燃料中孕育或转化鳗系元素。未来的研究重点是液体盐技术和材料行为，燃料和燃料循环化学和建模，以及反应堆的数值模拟和安全设计方面。MSR的开发每年都受到越来越多的关注，因为它被普遍认为是六种具有本质安全特性的第四代设计中最可持续的。需要继续共同努力推进共同熔盐反应堆技术。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Molten Salt Reactors (MSR) with the fuel dissolved in the liquid salt and fluoride-salt-cooled High-temperature Reactors (FHR) have many research themes in common. This paper gives an overview of the international R&D efforts on these reactor types carried out in the framework of Generation-IV. Many countries worldwide contribute to this reactor technology, among which the European Union, France, Japan, Russia and the USA, and for the past few years China and India have also contributed. In general, the international R&D focuses on three main lines of research. The USA focuses on the FHR, which will be a nearer-term application of liquid salt as a reactor coolant, while China also focuses on solid fuel reactors as a precursor to molten salt reactors with liquid fuel and a thermal neutron spectrum. The EU, France and Russia are focusing on the development of a fast spectrum molten salt reactor capable of either breeding or transmutation of actinides from spent nuclear fuel.Future research topics focus on liquid salt technology and materials behavior, the fuel and fuel cycle chemistry and modeling, and the numerical simulation and safety design aspects of the reactor. MSR development attracts more and more attention every year, because it is generally considered as most sustainable of the six Generation-IV designs with intrinsic safety features. Continuing joint efforts are needed to advance common molten salt reactor technologies. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
