HYLIFE-II: A Molten-Salt Inertial Fusion Energy Power Plant Design — Final Report
Ralph W. Moir,R. L. Bieri,Xiang M. Chen,T. J. Dolan,M. A. Hoffman,P.A. House,R. L. Leber,J. D. Lee,Y. T. Lee,J. C. Liu,G. R. Longhurst,Wayne R. Meier,P. F. Peterson,Ronald W. Petzoldt,V. E. Schrock,M. Tobin,W. H. Williams +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, the liquid-wall HYLIFE-II conceptual design has been presented, which has been shown to reduce the electricity cost by using a neutronically thick array of flowing molten-salt jets, which will not burn, has a low tritium solubility and inventory, and protects the chamber walls.

Modified APEX reactor as a fusion breeder
Sümer Şahin,Mustafa Übeyli +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified APEX project with improved effectiveness has been developed using a protective flowing liquid wall for tritium breeding and energy transfer, where the flowing molten salt wall is composed of Flibe as the main constituent with increased mole fractions of heavy metal salt (ThF 4 or UF 4 ) for both fissile and fusile breeding purposes and to increase the energy multiplication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molten salts in fusion nuclear technology
TL;DR: The use of molten fluoride, especially the LiF-BeF2 mixture called Flibe, has been suggested as the primary loop coolant because of its inherent advantages such as high temperature stability and low electrical conductivity.
