MOLTEX ENERGY USA, LLC (1798-1548) - NEW MEITNER AWARD THIS PROJECT WILL USE STATE-OF-THE-ART MODELING AND SIMULATION (M & S) METHODS TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF APPLYING THE ENABLING TECHNOLOGY OF RIGID ELASTIC COMPOSITE CIVILWORKS (RECC) IN THE STABLE SALT REACTOR (SSR), A STATIC-FUELED MOLTEN SALT REACTOR (MSR). RIGID-ELASTIC COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION WOULD ENABLE SIGNIFICANTLY FASTER AND LESS EXPENSIVE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW NUCLEAR PLANTS. THIS PROJECT WILL DEMONSTRATE - USING SYSTEM LEVEL ANALYSIS OF POSTULATED FAULTS - THE CAPABILITY OF THE SSR TO AVOID HIGH DOSE RELEASE IN THE EVENT OF STRUCTURAL FAILURES.
