摘要

The paper considers the R&D program to justify the molten-salt research reactor (MSRR), which is considered as a prototype of a reactor for burning long-lived actinides, mainly americium and curium, from spent fuel of power reactors. The selection of EK199- VI alloy as a structural material was justified; the technologies for the preparation of molten-salt media and physical properties of salt melts were determined; the initial data for the verification of calculation codes were formed; experimental facilities for the development of molten-salt technologies were constructed. The analysis of the main federal rules and regulations in the field of atomic energy use in relation to the MSRR facility was carried out with the formulation of the required changes to the regulatory documents. The results of R&D indicate the fundamental possibility of substantiating design solutions and safety of the MSRR facility.
