Ryan Chesser's research focuses on the chemistry and physical properties of molten salts used in advanced nuclear reactor systems, such as molten chloride and fluoride salts containing actinides (e.g., uranium chloride mixtures). This work includes measuring properties like viscosity, density, thermal conductivity, and surface tension of these molten salts, as well as studying electrochemical behavior of dissolved elements and developing sensor materials that can withstand harsh reactor environments. The research supports the design of molten salt nuclear reactors and related database tools for predicting salt behavior.
