NEUP CINR-21-24131: Total Mass Accounting in Advanced Liquid Fueled Reactors

A total mass determination method for nuclear materials accounting (NMA) in liquid-fueled molten salt reactors will be validated with fuel-bearing salt, mixed with a β+ radioisotope of known activity, that will be irradiated to reproduce the practical NMA scenario in a molten salt loop. Irradiated fuel salt will be sampled and measured for its mass and activity. The mass-to-activity ratio will be used to calculate the unknown salt mass in the original container.
