Abstract

See full text

The present invention describes a nuclear reactor with a loop for liquid nuclear fuel, which, contrary to similar systems like the Molten-Salt Reactor of the Generation-IV canon, does not use the fuel loop for the heat transport at the same time. Instead, cooling is provided by an additional coolant loop, which is intensively coupled to the nuclear fuel duct for heat transport. That way, the advantages of liquid fuel can be utilized while optimizing the coolant loop performance, so the complexity of safety systems can be reduced significantly. This reactor design further includes an optimized neutron economy and is able to deactivate long-lived fission products generated by its own, so only short-lived radiotoxic waste has to be stored. With the neutron surplus it is also possible to deactivate long-lived radiotoxic waste from used fuel of today's light water reactors or to produce medical radioisotopes.
