Molten salts safety and hazards: An annotated bibliography

The present information was compiled as a guide to good practice and as an aid in discovering potentially dangerous situations with molten salts in research and technology, and is based on a survey of the primary, secondary, and tertiary scientific literature to December, 1976. The format of an annotated bibliography was selected for this communication; the results are reported with reference to nine categories: hazards; reactive chemical hazards; dangerous mixtures of inorganic compounds; potentially hazardous metal—molten salts mixtures; precautions; applications of molten salts in process design and technology; water in melts; water solubility data; and reviews. A systems index is included. Titles of selected publications are included in the list of references as an additional aid to the user (196 references).
