Molten Salt Reactor: Precursor Drift — Space-Time Strip (2D)
Interactive 2D space-time strip simulation of delayed-neutron precursor drift in a circulating-fuel molten salt reactor: watch the precursor concentration profile build up live along the unrolled fuel loop and see how flow speed, loop length and pausing the flow change the effective delayed-neutron fraction.
This 2D companion to the 3D racetrack-loop simulator unrolls the closed fuel loop into a single position axis and integrates the precursor advection–decay equation live, in real time, from a cold start — instead of solving directly to a pre-baked steady state. Watch the concentration profile along the loop build up frame by frame, and see how flow speed, external loop length, precursor group choice, and pausing the flow (a genuine physics change, not a cosmetic one) reshape both the profile and the effective delayed-neutron fraction retained inside the core.
