MARVEL team shares lessons learned through microreactor development
On June 1 at the American Nuclear Society’s Annual Conference in Denver, Colo., a team from Idaho National Laboratory presented a session titled “Lessons Learned from MARVEL Reactor Fabrication.” The presentation highlighted challenges that arose as they moved from design to manufacturing and assembly, with a focus on reactor part fabrication, Stirling engine implementation, and reactivity control system development.

A nonlinear optimization program was used to fit the model equation to the experimental equilibrium data of a thorium-nitrate/nitric-acid-1-M di-n-heptyl sulfoxide (DHPSO) 1,1,2-trichloroethane (TCE) system successfully. The extraction equilibrium curves for this system obey Langmuir type. The product of parameters A and K is the maximum extraction distribution coefficient that can be used to compare the extraction power of 1 M DHPSO-TCE with respect to Th(NO3)4 at various aqueous acidities.
