Understanding the Impact of Cl35 on MCFR at Elysium Industries

  • Thread starter KangOfCanada

In summary, the conversation discusses the effects of Cl35 on a Molten Chloride Fast Reactor and whether Elysium Industries will enrich the fraction of Cl37. The company's website is vague on the topic, but it has been mentioned in discussions with other companies and their motivation for enrichment would be higher conversion/breeding. Enriched Cl37 is not available or too costly, so the company may look into developing a supply chain. A PDF with more information on the topic was also mentioned.

I was wondering how Cl35 would affect a Molten Chloride Fast Reactor like EI's. Cl37 makes up 24% of the molar mass of chlorine. Is Elysium Industries going to enrich the fraction of Cl37 or is that necessary despite stable sulfur-36 accumulation (Cl35+n=S36)? Is the issue simply corrosion from sulfur?

Your question is not easy to understand without context. Please post some links to your sources and explain the context better.

Well, 90 seconds of Google searching found this.

It sounds like they plan to skip the Cl37 enrichment. It also sounds like their motivation for enrichment would be higher conversion/breeding.

Develop supply chain, in discussions with Urenco and Centrus Energy, do not enrich chlorine and use larger core, accept lower conversion/breeding

That is a great resource, THX.I don't know how I couldn't find that pdf.
