- Continuous flow reactor technology has a proven track record in enabling photochemical transformations.
- Choosing structural materials for molten-salt nuclear reactors is a high-priority problem.
- Lithium titanate (Li2TiO3) ceramic is one of the candidate tritium breeding material for fusion reactor.
- The safe operation of the reactor is compromised under postulated accident events.
- Establishment of effective tritium removal method was one of important issues for the development of fusion reactor from the view of fuel recycle and safe operation.
- The molten salt reactor (MSR) is one of the leading advanced nuclear reactor candidates to replace current nuclear reactor technologies in the U.S. Besides having more economical and reliable designs, MSRs are amenable to a closed fuel cycle, in which electrochemical reprocessing can be performed to recycle the used nuclear fuel.
- Renewed interest in the use of metallic fuel in a liquid-metal fast breeder reactor has prompted study of the thermodynamic and transport properties of fuel and cladding materials.
- the core meltdown severe accident, in-vessel retention (IVR) of molten core debris by external reactor vessel cooling (ERVC) is an important mitigation strategy.
- Specifications for pressure-vessel components such as the intermediate heat exchangers (IHX) for service in the liquid metal fast breeder reactor facilities require helium leak testing of pressure boundaries to very exacting standards.
