FY24: Progress Report on the MELCOR Modeling of the Liquid Salt Test Loop

De Luna, Brandon; Albright, Lucas I.

This report outlines the activities conducted in FY24 focused on updating the liquid salt test loop (LSTL) model through the integration of a new test section featuring 16 radial tubes coupled to a filter section. Some comparative analyses of the updated model with existing experimental data for the LSTL was made and benchmarked against other computational tools, such as the ORNL code, SAM. These actions are part of a comprehensive validation effort and promote collaboration among laboratories participating in the Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) campaign.
