Abstract

See full text

Use in a nuclear fission reactor of a sacrificial metal in a molten salt fuel containing actinide halides in order to maintain a predefined ratio of actinide trihalide to actinide tetrahalide without reducing actinide trihalide to actinide metal. A method of maintaining oxidation state of a molten salt containing actinide halides. The method comprises contacting the molten salt continuously with a sacrificial metal, the sacrificial metal being selected in order to maintain a predefined ratio of actinide trihalide to actinide tetrahalide without reducing actinide trihalide to actinide metal. A fuel tube containing a sacrificial metal is also described.
