Feasibility Study of a Natural Uranium Neutron Spallation Target using FLiBe as a Coolant

The research conducted was a feasibility study using Lithium Fluoride-Beryllium Fluoride (LiF-BeF2) or FLiBe as a coolant with a natural uranium neutron spallation source applied to an accelerator driven sub-critical molten salt reactor. The study utilized two different software tools, MCNPX 2.6 and...
