摘要:

All Accelerator‐Driven Transmutation apaplications require very large amounts of RF Power. One version of a Plutonium burning system requires an 800‐MeV, 80‐mA, proton accelerator running at 100% duty factor. This accelerator requires approximately 110−MW of continuous RF power if one assumes only 10% reserve power for control of the accelerator fields. This contrasts with the usual assumption that the RF controls may need as much as 15 to 20% of reserve power. In this paper, we will describe the issues and requirements, and outline a plan for RF generator development to meet the needs of the Accelerator‐Driven Transmutation Technologies. The key issues which will be discussed include: operating efficiency, operating linearity, effect on the input power grid, bandwidth, gain, reliability, operating voltage, and operating current. ©American Institute of Physics 1995

摘要:

The chemistry of molten fluorides is traced from their development as fuels in the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment with important factors in their selection being discussed. Key chemical characteristics such as solubility, redox behavior, and chemical activity are explained as they relate to the behavior of molten fluoride fuel systems. Development requirements for fitting the current state of the chemistry to modern nuclear fuel system are described. It is concluded that while much is known about molten fluoride behavior which can be used effectively to reduce the amount of development required for future systems, some significant molten salt chemical questions must still be addressed. ©American Institute of Physics 1995
