| Abstract Scope |
The development of molten salt reactors and their associated components demands reliable and accurate thermophysical property data for design and validation. A candidate fuel salt, PuCl<sub>3</sub>-NaCl (36 mol% PuCl<sub>3</sub>) has been synthesized and studied at the Idaho National Laboratory. This study has determined the density of PuCl<sub>3</sub>-NaCl at multiple compositions and temperatures, providing data for validation of modeling efforts and making improvements on the buoyancy method for density measurements of actinide-bearing molten salts. |
