The Fluoride High-Temperature Reactor (FHR) technology promises many benefits including passive safety, proliferation-resistant waste forms, and improved economics. However, selection of reliable structural materials and identification of the possible degradation mechanisms for these is important for the licensure and the safe operation of FHRs. In order to address this task, the Georgia Tech led Integrated Research Project (IRP) hosted a Phenomena Identification and Ranking Table (PIRT) panel of experts to address degradation mechanisms and other materials related issues of importance to the FHRs. Materials, ones that come in contact with FLiBe or FLiNaK molten salts or other related environments like high temperature steam etc., were considered in this PIRT. Focus of this PIRT was the metallic alloys, especially the ones that are permitted for the construction of elevated temperature Class A components by the ASME code. Degradation mechanisms considered in this PIRT included chemical degradation, mechanical degradation, radiation degradation, and synergistic effect of these mechanisms that may negatively impact operations or cause some safety concerns for the major structural components of FHRs. Main components which were considered included vessel and primary piping, primary heat exchangers, steam generator vessel, steam generator tubes, intermediate loop piping, valves and pumps. Welds in all structural components were identified as an important class of material, which varies in composition and properties, and needs more attention. Importance of impurity control in molten fluorides considered for FHR was highlighted throughout PIRT panel discussions. This paper gives a summary of important results from the PIRT panel discussions and report. (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
