| Abstract Scope |
Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are leading candidates for next-generation nuclear reactors to contribute to the U.S. energy supply. One of the most critical challenges in the fruition of MSRs is the corrosion of structural materials. To comprehend the corrosion behavior of commercial alloys and develop a corrosion mitigation strategy in the MSR environment, it is of significance to understand the basic corrosion behavior of model metals and alloys in molten salts. Scanning transmission electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy systems and synchrotron-based techniques including transmission X-ray microscopy, extended X-ray absorption fine structure and X-ray absorption near edge structure are used to characterize the microstructure of Ni and Ni-20Cr model alloys corroded in molten chloride salts.
