NEUP CINR-24-31754: Redox potential, ionic speciation, and separation and recovery challenges from molten salts containing actinides and fission products

Establishing an efficient, safe, secure, and economical Molten-Salt Reactor (MSR) fuel cycle is imperative for MSR implementation. Molten salt fuel recycling technology requires predictive knowledge of the chemical and physical behavior of lanthanide and actinide ions with different oxidation states dissolved in solvent salts. A combination of off-gas and X-ray measurements with machine-learning simulations will be used to produce predictive modeling of separation and recovery conditions.
