Nuclear reactors operated with liquid fuel may have several remarkable advantages and features. The most developed reactor system in this category is the molten salt reactor (MSR). It represents an old concept, but its properties qualify it for advanced utilization; these include inherent safety, excellent neutron economy, continuous or batch reprocessing possibilities without fuel fabrication. The aim of this study is to characterize the MSR physics, highlighting its unique fuel cycle advantages in several different neutron spectra by using the ERANOS-based EQL3D procedure and ECCO-MATLAB- or Serpent-MATLAB-based EQL0D procedures.
