Abstract

A salt composition is provided. The salt composition can include a mixture of salts containing chlorides of uranium, potassium, sodium, and calcium. Optionally, a magnesium chloride can be substituted for calcium chloride or added in addition to calcium chloride. The salt composition possess a relatively low melting point, good neutron physics properties, and good thermophysical properties for use as fuel in a molten salt nuclear reactor.
