NSUF 22-4495: Integrated Effects of Irradiation and Flibe Salt on Fuel Pebble and Structural Graphites for Molten Salt Reactors
This project will investigate the irradiation response of the Flibe/fuel pebble carbon matrix and Flibe/structural graphite systems with a focus on salt infiltration and its effect on microstructure for molten salt reactor applications. The objectives are to quantify the irradiation-induced changes in Flibe infiltration behavior and quantify the influence of infiltration under irradiation on microstructure and mechanical properties.
