3.3,1.2 Physical properties of DMSR fuels<br />

9.8 x 10-3<br />

Table 25 shows key physical properties of <strong>the</strong> compositions identified<br />

previously to represent <strong>the</strong> likely limits for DMSR use. As described in<br />

detail elsewhere, 1 99 209 '39 '4 several of <strong>the</strong>se properties - particularly<br />

those of <strong>the</strong> salt with 9.5 mole % heavy metal- are interpolated from<br />

measurements on similar salt mixtures, Prom careful consideration of very<br />

similar mixtures for use in <strong>the</strong> MSBR, <strong>the</strong> properties clearly are adequate<br />

for <strong>the</strong> proposed service. However, because estimates ra<strong>the</strong>r than measured<br />

values are presented in several cases, an experimental program would be<br />
