Fluoride Salt-Cooled High-Temperature Reactor
Workshop Announcement and Call for Participation
 

     The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Energy, is sponsoring this workshop to (1) facilitate information exchange on Fluoride Salt-Cooled High Temperature Reactors (FHRs), (2) assess the current status of FHR reactor concepts and their technology, and (3) inform the FHR research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) plan.

Location: Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge Tennessee, USA
ORNL Conference Center-Tennessee Rooms (Rooms 202A-C)
When:

September 20-21, 2010
GIF MSR Provisional Steering Committee Meeting on September 22
(This meeting will be closed to observers until 11:30AM.  The meeting will be open to Non GIF representatives from 11:30 to 4:00 PM.)

      Workshop participation is open, but space is limited. Please register for attendance at the meeting website. All non-DOE badge holders must register for ORNL site access — site access instructions will be emailed out to registered participants. Non-U.S. citizens please contact Linda Dockery (dockerylb@ornl.gov) at least 2 months prior to the meeting for assistance with obtaining entrance to ORNL. A longer lead-time may be necessary for obtaining a U.S. entry visa. Please contact the meeting host, David Holcomb (holcombde@ornl.gov), as soon as possible if you require an invitation letter.

FHR Workshop Summary Report

Session Questions

      The workshop begins with a discussion of the relationship of FHRs to the national energy goals. The workshop technical content will be organized around four panel sessions.

  1. Concepts and Applications
  2. Technology Development
  3. Safety and Licensing
  4. Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Economics

      The Concepts and Applications panel will include a description of the current status of each of the FHR concepts under active development: AHTR, PB-AHTR, and SmAHTR and will include discussion of potential roles for FHRs in electricity production, process heat production, fuel cycle optimization, and proliferation risk management.

      The Technology Development panel will address FHR fuels, materials, coolant, instrumentation, and component development activities. Technology development is nominally subdivided into three phases 700°C, 850°C, and 1000°C core outlet temperatures.

      The Safety and Licensing panel will focus on developing an understanding of FHR accident response and safety features. The session will also describe and discuss advanced reactor licensing and approval paths.

      The Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Economics panel will discuss the systems and materials requirements for building an FHR. Emphasis will be placed on commercial building requirements and on establishing the system economic advantages sufficiently strongly so as to support making the required investment decisions to initiate fabrication activities.
