Fluid-fueled nuclear reactors, particularly molten salt reactors (MSRs), have recently gained significant interest. As with all reactors, modeling and simulation are key factors for advanced reactor design and licensing and will be required for the deployment of MSRs. However, there are significant gaps between simulation capabilities and system behavior for MSRs. This paper presents the system model of an MSR that is based on the Molten Salt Demonstration Reactor. The model includes important physics specific to MSRs, such as fission product and tritium transport and reactivity feedback.
