Molten-Salt Reactor On-line Monitoring - Amanda Lines (presentation) @ ORNL MSRW 2019

On-Line Monitoring enables real-time process characterization to supply essential process information. Chemical characterization by optical spectroscopy. Identification and quantification of chemical contents. Oxidation state. Molecular and elemental species. Batch or continuous. Solid, liquid or gas. Including Molten-Salts. Amanda Lines of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) describes how numerous, versatile tools are available to capture fingerprints of huge range of fission products/species of interest to the fuel cycle. Raman spectroscopy (actinide oxide ions). UV vis NIR absorption (Actinides and lanthanides in multiple oxidation states). Currently developing Molten-Salt Reactor off-gas treatment on-line monitoring to quantify iodine species. Dual methods: LIBS at ORNL, Raman at PNNL.
