| Abstract Scope |
Molten salt cooled reactors and other systems will require means of mechanical filtration to ensure particulates forming from corrosion or precipitating fission fragments do not foul pumps and heat exchangers. Understanding the interaction of intended particulates and filter media begins with identification of both chemical and physical makeup of common impurities in the molten salt to predict interaction with the filter media. This work will present preliminary chemical and physical analysis of particulates trapped by sintered metal filter media as molten FLiNaK is passed between two 316 stainless steel heated storage containers. Results and planned research directions will be included. |
