id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description The Grenoble Laboratory of Subatomic Physics and Cosmology (LPSC) ( http://lpsc.in2p3.fr ) is a joint research unit involving the CNRS-IN2P3, the University of Grenoble Alpes (UGA) and Grenoble INP, with an average staff of around 230 people. The successful candidate will be assigned to the MSFR team and will report to the team leader. Development of an Advanced Numerical Model for. Depletion Calculations in Molten-Salt Reactors and Application to the Preliminary Design of. Experiments for Reducing Uncertainties. Description of the subject. Molten Salt Reactors (MSR) present a very interesting potential in terms of safety and flexibility. Such. reactor is based on a liquid salt circulating between the core and the heat exchangers and playing the. role of both the fuel to produce heat and the coolant to evacuate the heat produced. Due to its inherent. features, and its flexible applications (power generation (from small modular reactors up to high power,. burning actinides that may not be used as fuel in present Pressurized Water Reactors, etc.), since some. times, there is renewed interest in these reactors in France, Europe, and over the world. In the past twenty. years, the MSFR team of LSPC (Laboratoire de Physique Subatomique et de Cosmologie) drives studies. of such reactors for all these applications and especially the reference MSFR version, breeder reactor in. the Thorium fu
