NEUP CINR-25-34692: Beryllium Safety: Characterization of Beryllium Samples from High-Temperature Salt Systems to Support Improved Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Safety for Advanced Reactors that Employ Fluoroberyllate Salts

To accelerate the development and deployment of advanced reactors, this project will generate data for improving beryllium industrial hygiene tools tailored to high temperature molten salt operations. We postulate that in high temperature salt systems (like FLiBe and other fluoroberyllates) beryllium takes much different physical and chemical forms, and transports differently, compared to the forms for which current industrial hygiene practices have been optimized.
