NEUP CINR-24-31617: Development and Validation of a Dual-Purpose Instrument for On-line Monitoring of Molten Salt Composition and Thermal Behavior

We propose the development of an online monitoring instrument capable of quantifying heat transfer and salt composition for molten salt reactors (MSR). A dual electrochemistry/thermal conductivity probe (DETP) will be developed to measure the thermal properties and impurities within the salt simultaneously. The DETP will make use of a previously developed needle probe and electrodes for square-wave cyclic voltammetry measures of salt composition.
