We will build a new 200 MW denatured molten salt research reactor with three validation test intermediate loops. \u00a0Dr. Ralph Moir and Dick Engel have urged us to access the myriad vellum engineering illustrations generated in support of the original MSRE as a primary resource to follow in our building of the first 200 MW DMSR. \u00a0Quite recently, however, an ORNL executive has undertaken a review of the design origins of the MSRE in response to our inquiries. \u00a0While a number of engineering drawings have been located both in the MSRE building and elsewhere within ORNL, the consensus has come back to access a different, and more thorough resource. \u00a0A series of documents that went into great detail in describing the decisions and their background on the design and operation of the Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment.<\/p>\n
1ORNL-2796_1960 MSR Design Study<\/a><\/p>\n These documents were published under the collective title of “MSRE Design and Operations Report”. \u00a0They represent an invaluable repository that we present here to \u00a0instruct the ‘learning curve’ we negotiate as we build a new, operational molten salt reactor.<\/p>\n “MSRE Design and Operations Report,” Part I, Description of Reactor Design<\/em>, by R.
