Abstract

Abstract

In order to realize the reasonable and compact general layout of the main plant building for 2 MW thorium based molten salt experimental reactor (TMSR) with liquid fuel, the overall design characteristics of the main plant building are determined in this paper according to the type characteristics, top-level design and system functional requirements of the molten salt reactor, and the relative position characteristics of the key equipment and items of TMSR are discussed. Besides, the general layout scheme of the plant is finally obtained through reasonable planning of the functional zoning and equipment layout of the plant. Through the implementation of this project, it provides a basic platform for the system integration and verification of TMSR and provides technical support and experience for the design and construction of small modular thorium-based molten salt demonstration reactor.
