## MSBR Model | ||
|
||
Based on the design paper by Robertson, 1971 | ||
This model is based on the following technical report: | ||
|
||
Figure 3.27, pg 46 | ||
Figure 3.4, pg 17 | ||
Figure 3.5, pg 18 | ||
Figure 3.3, pg 16 | ||
Robertson, R. C. (1971). Conceptual Design Study of a Single-Fluid Molten-Salt Breeder Reactor. (ORNL--4541). ORNL. | ||
|
||
Model features: | ||
- Simplified Zone IA (graphite element is idential Zone IIA in the model, does not match original paper spec) | ||
- Simplified Zone IIA (graphite element does not match the original spec) | ||
For a complete discussion of the model, please see Chapter 4 in: | ||
|
||
Yardas, O. (2023). Implementation and validation of OpenMC in SaltProc [MS Thesis, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign]. | ||
|
||
|
||
## Key features | ||
- Zone IB | ||
- Zone IIA | ||
- Simplified Zone IIB (graphite slabs are constructed from cylindrical sectors, and so do not have a consistent width; the last gap in the ccw direction in each octant is smaller than the other gaps, which all have the same dimension) | ||
- Control rod elements (A Guess, as no spec was provided) | ||
- Radial reflectors. | ||
- Simplified axial reflectors (flat and cover more than what the MSBR does) | ||
- Simplified axial reflectors (flat as opposed to dished in the reference specification) | ||
|
||
Missing from model: | ||
- Zone IB | ||
- Top part of core (filled with salt?) | ||
## Missing from model | ||
- Zone IA | ||
- Support structure above the main core | ||
- Radial reflector axial ribs | ||
- Radial reflector retaining rings | ||
- Upper salt plenum | ||
- Zone IIB Graphite Dowel pins and Hastelloy N eliptical pins | ||
- Salt inlets and outlest | ||
- Top and bottom dished heads | ||
- Zone I eliptical graphite sealing pins |
