CALCULATED RADIOACTIVITY OF MSRE FUEL SALT
M. J. Bell
ABSTRACT
Calculations have been made of the inventory
and radioactivity of the fission product and trans-
uranium isotopes present in the MSRE fuel salt. ghe
calculations have included operation with both 235y
and 233y fuels, the effect of stripping of noble gases,
3ng fluorination of the fuel salt after the period of
35y operation, Results are presented which give the
inventory and radiocactivity of individual isotopes in
the salt up to January 1, 1975.
INTRODUCTION
The Molten Salt Reactor Experiment at ORNL was first operated at
full power in May'1966.l Since that time the reactor has been operated
for over 100,000 Myhr with both 232U and 232U fuels.’ In August 1968
235U fuel
originally charged, and the reactor was then fueled with 233U prepared
at the TURF facility at ORNL. In October 1968 the MSRE became the
233
U
the fuel salt was processed by fluorination to remove the
first reactor to operate with 233U fuel, Power operation with
fuel began in January 1969, and operation of the reactor was terminated
on December 12, 1969. The fuel salt was drained and is being stored
prior to permanent disposal., Estimates of the composition and radio-
activity of the fission products present in the fuel salt drain tank
are required to provide for safe storage and disposal of the salt.
Such estimates should take into account, in as much detail as possible,
the operating history and chemical processing history of the fuel salt.
These estimates were made using a modification of the ORIGEN isotope
generation and depletion code which took into account continuous chemical
processing. Calculated results are presented which describe the compo-
sition and radiocactivity of the fuel salt after 235
233

COMPUTATIONAL PROCEDURE
Estimates of the composition and radiocactivity of the MSRE fuel
salt were made using a modification of the CRIGEN isotope generation
and depletion code which took into account continuous stripping of the
noble gases Xe and Kr.3
During periods of power operation, it was
assumed that noble gas stripping took place on a }j87-sec cycle with
an efficiency of 38%4. It was also assumed that tritium was removed
at the same rate. In the calculations the power history of the fuel
salt was approximated by the series of increments of constant average
power shown in Table 1. Between periods of operation the fuel salt
was drained on a number of occasions and a 'heel" of approximately 10%
of the total salt volume remained in the drain tank every time the salt
was returned to the reactor. This behavior was taken into account using
the same "flux-dilution! technique applied to the circulating fuel salt,
i.e., the entire salt inventory was assumed to be exposed to a propor-
tionately lower neutron flux. Nuclear data used for the calculation
was that compiled for the MATAD(R steady state material balance codegh6
’
Three group spectral constants were derived from the data of Prince.
During the period of operation of the MSRE additions of uranium
were made to the fuel salt which amounted to approximately 2% of the
uranium inventory. These additions were neglected in the present calcu-
lations. This approximation has the effect of raising the neutron flux
required to maintain the fission rate at the specified level by less
than 24, and is expected to have a negligible effect on the radio-
activity of the fuel salt.
During a six-day period in August 1968 the MSRE fuel salt was
fluorinated to remove 235U before beginning operation with 233U. This
processing also removed all those fission products having stable volatile
fluorides and any Np present in the salt. In addition, the remaining
noble gases and the halogens, Br and I, would also be expected to leave
the salt. Accordingly, 100%4 of the elements H, He, Se, Br, Kr, Nb, Mo,
Tc, Ru, Te, I, Xe, U and Np were removed from the salt 157 days after
the end of power operation with 235U,

COMPUTATTONAL RESULTS
The calculated inventories of fission products and transuranium
elements present in the MSRE fuel salt after the termination of operation
with 235U fuel are shown in Tables 2 and 3. The inventories at 157 days
after shutdown reflect the removal of noble gases, halogens, and elements
with volatile stable fluorides by fluorination in August 1968. It was
assumed that 1004 of these elements was removed. The remaining times
past 157 days cooling correspond to the period before power operation
with 233U fuel. The radioactivity of these isotopes for the same period
is given in Tables L and 5. The computed activity of the fuel salt prior
bo the start of 255U operation is 0.289 x 10° curies.
The 233U charged to the MSRE for the second period of power opera-
tion had been purified by solvent extraction and ion exchange in 196l
and 1965. The isotopic composition of this material after purification
was 8.6% 233y, 6,933 234y, 2.1 235, 0.15% 23y, ¢.872 238y, and the
uranium contained approximately 225 parts per million 232U.7 Table 6
shows the increase in radioactivity of this material during the period
that elapsed between purification of the uranium and power operation of
the MSRE with 233U fuel. The radiocactivity of the uraniunggaches a
level of 1.53 x 103 curies as a result of the presence of Th and its
daughters.
Tables 7 and 8 give the transuranium element and fission product
inventories in the fuel salt at the end of 233U power operation and as
a function of time after shutdown. The radioactivity corresponding to
these isotopes is given in Tables 9 and 10. The results indicate that
5.88 x lOu curies of radioactivity will remain in the fuel salt after
5 years cooling time. About L% of the long lived radiocactivity will
2327 and its
daughters. Of the fission product activity, greater than 984 is due
result from transuranium elements, in particular, from
to isotopes which form very stable fluoride salts. Approximately 1%
of the fission product radicactivity is the result of isotopes of noble
metals which would not be expected to remain dissolved in the salt,
