Fluoride-salt cooled reactors are a class of reactors that have attractive performance and safety attributes. The defining features ofthese flouride salt cooled high temperature reactors(FHR's) are high-temperature heat production and the use of low-pressure fluoride salt cooling.Although fluoride salts have attractive heat-transfer characteristics materials in contact with these salts are subject to corrosive attack. Oxide scales that are traditionally used for high temperature protection are removed when the material is in contact with fluoride salts and hence the composition of the alloy has a significant effect on the corrosion behavior in molten salts.This paper will present the techniques used for the laboratory-scale corrosion evaluation of alloys for service at high temperatures in molten fluoride salt environments.A brief overview of the effect of alloying elements on the fluoride salt corrosion will be provided. Behavior of existing alloys such as Alloy N in liquid FLiNaK will be compared to that of new developmental alloys.This work was funded by theLDRD Program Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Oak Ridge National Laboratory is managed by UT-Battelle LLC under Contract No. DE-AC05-00OR22725 with the United States Department of Energy

Key words: Fluoride salt cooled reactors, FLiNaK, Ni-based alloys

An optical fiber corrosion sensor is developed to monitor the penetration of corrosion pits in steel bars. Simply made by encasing one end of an optical fiber into a steel straw. As corrosion penetrates the steel straw wall, the solution and corrosion products fill inside and contaminate the fiber end surface, resulting in a change in the reflectivity.
