Tóm tắt

Next-generation nuclear power plants may include exciting novel designs in which molten salts are the coolant or a combination of the coolant and fuel. Whereas it is straightforward to see why having a low volatility coolant can be advantageous for safety, much is not understood about the production of volatile halogen gases as a result of radiation and even less is known about the distribution of these species at and away from interfaces. Using first principles molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the product of the disproportionation reaction between chlorine anion radicals (nominally Cl
