Flibe Salts• The first major use of Flibe for nuclear powerapplications was in the 8 MWth Molten Salt ReactorExperiment (MSRE) constructed at Oak Ridge NationalLaboratory (ORNL)• Operating between June 1965 and May 1969, the MSREused a mixture of 66 mole% LiF and 34 mole% BeF 2 at545 to 650°C, 34.4 kPa gauge pressure, and 54 L/scirculation rate as an intermediate coolant• MSRE operated successfully for 17,655 critical withoutany extreme personnel safety events (i.e., no radiationexposure over 15 rem, and no fatalities or life-threateninginjuries)Brush Beryllium & Composites
General characteristics of Flibe• Flibe itself is not a combustible material• Flibe does not melt until over 455°C• Flibe recombines reasonably fast from radiolyticdecomposition• Flibe can attack Mn in stainless steel, so erosionproducts from wall materials are possible• Designers may add an anticorrosive like MoF 6• The addition of beryllium metal (i.e. beads) helpscontrol the Redox potentialBrush Beryllium & Composites
