NEUP CINR-19-17192: The Design and Investigation of Novel Mechanical Filters for Molten Salt Reactors

This proposal addresses the need for a novel mechanical filtration system, filter media performance data, filter regeneration performance data, and the need for a design that facilitates remote filter removal, cooling, replacement, and assay of fissile material hold-up in the filter media.The project conducts tests that will generate filtration data for sintered nickel-based molten salt filters, and a novel filter prototype.
